You totally need one.

Shipped today...lol I just thought maybe you snapped a quick pic of my barrel before it went out.

I usually stop in once a week, only long enough to ship out items for T&E and a few other things.

Looks like they sold out of the first run. They will likely have another run due to the demand. Now to see about getting some range reports!

I will post up results when I get it running.

I only have ran some loads for a .308 bolt gun through their Ultra Match .308 barrel but it's already the most accurate semi .308 I own.

Looking forward to trying this one out.

Does anyone know if these barrels are treated with Rainier's magic potion that they use on the Select Medcon line?

Just got my 16" barrel today and am going to try to get it installed tonight. This will be replacing an 18" WOA barrel.

No coating on these guys. Just bead blasted finish. These are coming out of the same place as our Ultramatches.

Any reason why they aren't treated with whatever mojo juice you guys use?

I am seriously in love with my Select Medcon... If you guys treated these match barrels with the mojo juice, unless there is something I don't know about why not, this would be in a completely different stratosphere.

Then again I am not a barrel maker or a professional so maybe there is some reason to not do it.

What exactly are you asking?

Sounds like he thinks the black oxide is some proprietary coating.

These barrels are extremely well made. I knew the second I unboxed it came from the same place as the Ultra-Match barrels. The chamber is a work of art. Should get some rounds through it in a week or so.

I agree, the barrel is very well made. As it should be.

The oxide coating on the select barrel has never impressed me all that much. It looks pitted at times depending on the batch you get.

[SINNER]

Not a fan of black oxide myself. The real issue with me is there are multiple types and of course not all are good. High heat oil sealed black oxide is very durable and usually consistent looking. Mid heat and no heat wax sealed is about equal to spray paint IMO. I usually coat most of my barrels so the bead blasted just shortens prep for me.

And of course they release different lengths now...LOL Never ends.

[alamo5000]

No. Nothing to do with the color. Its not a coating. Its Rainier's version of metal treatment. Its kind of like melonite but its not melonite. Its Rainier's version.

Its not nitride either. Its their own brew.

[SINNER]

Wut?
