Dan Dowling in Colo. was one of the first to do that finish.
I think it done with a DA sander in a lathe.
Sorry I don't have a picture.

Chris--I don't know exactly what kind of a swirl pattern you are looking for, but here's a couple photos showing the swirl finish my gunsmith put on one of my .17 Remington barrels. He chucks the barrel up in his lathe and uses an orbital sander to do this job:

Here's the swirl pattern he put on the barrel of my .17 Tactical:
