First of I heard you should send a few rounds through the barrel in order to smooth out any imperfections in the throat. I have 389 rounds through my Rock (.30-06). Is that too many? Also the exterior of the barrel is duracoated, I'm sure that would need to be removed but whomever melonites it could remove it. If I am able to do it where should I send my rifle too?
a few questions about meloniting a barrel
- Thread starter GhostFace
- Start date
SAC is a great place to start. They would most like do the media blasting/ stripping of the Duracoat then send it out
I use H&M in Ohio (Welcome to H & M Metal Processing) and have for the last few years. They will sand/media blast it before it goes in so that will remove anything on the outside of the barrel. They have different types of media to blush it with depending if you want glossy, satin, or matte finish. 389 probably isn't way over the top since it's a 30 cal. Call them up and talk to Bear or Rit and see what they have to say
