That often happens with the same barrel without O rings. Proved over a century ago.
How many O rings were used, what size and spacing were they?

Drilling 1 hole in a rifle barrel can potentially leave various stresses in the steel.
Would think drilling or fluting more would leave multiple times these stresses.

All stress from each hole can be relieved with heat and cooling treatments. Then drill the next one.Drilling 1 hole in a rifle barrel can potentially leave various stresses in the steel.

But still an expensive process with no advantage over conventional fluting costing less.

when i put o rings on, i put them side by side from infront of the forestock to about a 1 and 1/2 inches from the muzzle. tight together and double layer. then a high quality electrical tape over all of them. it is on a custom inline muzzle loader i built with a douglass barrel. my son did a 213 yard off hand shot through the neck of a huge buck with it. it drives tacks at 100 yards and of course shoots to very long ranges perfectly. every barrel i have cryo treated shoot much better after the treatment. i have a son in denver who cryo treated some rifles he has and they all shot better after the treatment.
