Don't get me wrong, looks like an awesome barrel for the money, but I couldn't take the machine marks and all that shine. Left the gas block area shiny and blasted the rest. I call it "NO"veske.

Now yall are making me feel bad for blasting it. Jason made me do it!

**DutyUse** · 9 January 2015, 16:10

No I like the matte

**Ride4frnt** · 9 January 2015, 16:16

Me too. My thing was you're only gonna see an inch of barrel anyways. Why live with machine marks and scratches I wasn't happy with.

Nice job. Your blasted finish looks very uniform.

Thanks. Actually blasted it twice since that pic. Found a few small irregularities in my finish, touched it up.

Okay folks... How do you protect your stainless barrels? They show oils from finger prints line none other. I'm gonna give it a light coat of fireclean before I install the barrel. Is this a good idea? What do you do to protect them?

I've done nothing special to any of my stainless barrels, and haven't had any issues with them.

I'm sure a light coat of oil wouldn't hurt.

That's what I'm thinking. My noveske barrel didn't show fingerprints like this. Granted, this isn't a $450 barrel. I'll hit it with oil. Worst comes to worst I'll cerakote it. Recently got access to a shop with a huge oven (guy who owns it powder coats) and I have the rest of the equipment needed. 30 bucks buys me the stainless cerakote.

Which brings me to my next subject. Gonna coat the receiver set and rail in armor or graphite black, so I may just hit the barrel for shits and gigs.

Hey, Krylon is just as good as Duracote, its the top finish that matters.
