Cryo~??

[ELR LVR]

Cryo is not simply dipping a bbl into liquid nitrogen, as has been implied by another poster. It is a controlled process and yes, the temp can and should be ramped down at a controlled rate. Even different alloys respond to this rate and hold time differently.

I know,
I was responding to Jackie with a viable method of wanting to experiment with doing it himself
Nothing wrong with a guy wanting to experiment just to see
That is his 3rd amendment right and what makes America a free country .........right?
------------------
I mean sheeeeeeit you should see some of the things I have experimented thinking it would never work but I'll do it for fun anyway
.......... and almost wanted to patent the idea after, or at least market it.

I am a business man. I run a very successful Machine Shop. I know labor rates and material costs.

I do not know how one would do a proper Cryonic Treatment on a barrel for $60/100.

Emphasis on proper.

I feel the same with barrel makers advertising
"Hand Lapped "
Like a proper Cryo treatment takes more than a quick dip
A proper hand lapping normalizing the surface finish takes more than just a few strokes back and forth

I don't see a further need to respond regarding mouthpieces. They are removable on all I've seen as well as there being woodwinds, percussion and brass instruments. I don't know but I doubt there'd be much benefit from cryo'ing a mouthpiece to either type but...maybe. That's why the term mouthpiece, IMO, was not proper, in the context of cryo benefits. I don't think a slobber piece on a musical instrument will respond much from being frozen. The other end is what makes the sound and why they are cryo'ed. Hot air has uses but not yours or mine. Lol!

Where is your empirical data?

I paid 94$ for my M12 barrel treatment in March. Company does barrels and racing brakes/parts. I've seen others for as low as 60, but I didn't want to ship my receiver/barrel.
