It was said that Patton had a high pitched, squeaky voice that he hated. In public speeches he lowered the pitch on purpose.
On the other hand, if he was pissed at you, the ass chewing that you got sounded like it was from an X-rated Don Knotts.

Have you met people in this industry?
Thanks!
I’ll try and take a couple pics next week.
Chips can range from what looks like fine powder to actually looking like a ribbon. If you could iron out the ribbons they would be the length of the groove.
Depends on the material and type of material and how heavy of a cut your taking also.
Next question, what do you do with the chips? (This is Not a loaded question, jsut curious)
Most machinist places recycle the chips. Gets a little money back. Some places I've worked did the budget for company parties from recycle money.
There's another thread over in semiauto. If you want a Bartlein barrel for an M1A or a Garand, go read the thread or email Bartlein with what you want.
Since this thread has been all over the place, and Frank is in the house... I got some new pots and pans over Xmas - slick like the stuff on the bottom of Clark Griswold's flying saucer. It's highly polished titanium, bonded to a stainless core. I couldn't help to think about a barrel lined with this stuff. Check it out.

Now to serious business....
See the attached pic below. S Line Nano Coating. So far on the few pieces I've seen....seems to be a serious thing to take a look at. Only on the few pieces I've seen. Seems to be cleaning easier/fouling less and looks like it might help barrel life. Again though...I've only seen like 3 barrels done with it to my knowledge. A couple of shooters that we make stuff for are having more barrels done as I type this. Dave in the shop I think has a barrel being made and he's gonna have his done as well.
I'll be seeing two of the shooters on Feb. 13th and can talk to them personally about it.
Anodized for gay pride 
Seriously, that is so awesome - I thought the pans were a gimmick until I handled one... and then threw it on the fire - the polished Ti is like Teflon but without the texture and the cancer. Gotta wonder if it helps out with velocity as well - perhaps even rifling sharpness...

looked very promising...and then we know what happened
we called it rainbow coating.. lol
they also had a super slick black for action internals and BCG's that we send a few actions to get coated
sales rep (hes gone now) fucked it up so bad it was ridiculous...then when it came for round 2 later on in the year..we know what happened
@Frank Green Thanks for the two .30cal weird palma contours you just dropped in the mail!
What happened?
I’ll pm you
I ordered my Bartline barrel like Frank said long before I needed it and it came sooner than expected. This isn’t always true but it seems if it’s easy to get it’s not worth getting.
What up sir? So what exactly is the coatings function and where all is it applied? Can it be done to any barrel like any other coating or is there more to it than that? This looks super cool. What did your guy say about it that you met with on the 13th?
I don’t know enough about it yet.
I‘m seeing the guys on Feb. 13th which is in my previous post. Not Jan. 13th. So you have to wait a few weeks yet.
From what I’ve seen it’s applied to the inside of the barrel as well as the outside of the barrel.
One of the guys at work had it done to a muzzle brake but he hasn’t run it on a gun yet. Carbon is suppose to wipe/clean off real easy.
Oh my bad, I had Jan 13th in my little brain...
Ok cool, I figured it would have to be in the inside of the barrel to effect barrel life but that rainbow looking color on the outside I guess is it as well. Anywho, please do let us know when you know more. Thanks for the info
That would be worth a lot just to have a barrel be super easy to clean
That’s what I‘m hearing and seen pictures of….I just personally have not had my hands on one and shot and played with it.
The guys I’m seeing on the 13th of Feb have a couple and a couple more in the works. I should be able to see the guns personally and hoping to bore scope a couple of the barrels as well.
Now we are talking! Can't wait to hear about this!
So, I’m guessing that you aren’t going to Quantico on Feb 13th?
Yes still going. A couple of the guys there are shooting in PRS matches and had the coating done to a couple of barrels. One guy is retiring this year and we just made him a couple more barrels.
@Frank Green
I'm really late to the conversation Frank, but the Quantico Shooting Club is hosting USPSA Saturday and Sunday, and maybe 1,000 on Sunday on R4. If you're bored in the hotel, let me know and I'd be happy to say hello and bring you out if you'd like. And, of course, this is selfish, but just to shake your hand and say hello would be an honor. /butt kissing off...

Just a quick feedback on the bartlien purchasing experience. I recently made a fairly complicated order and it was handled with the same professionalism and attention to detail that I have grown accustomed to.
A big thank you and wishes of continued future success.

No matter how long the wait Bartlein barrels are worth it.
Is lead time still around 10-12 months?
The lead time for the badger m2013 is about 2 years right now, so I guess I can wait.

Not to bash but there are much better actions out there with less lead time, what is your build/purpose?
Appreciate that. I’m not a competition shooter, but I’ve been shooting 300 prc for a bit now. The action on my rifle is real sticky and is the antithesis to what I would call smooth. So I was going to build my own, the terminus Kratos is the one I have my eyes set on, however now I’m considering buying a used AXMC in 338 and just having a new barrel made and grabbing a new bolt to keep shooting 300 prc.
Nice mal btw.
Thanks, She passed in 2021 at 11 years old, literally fought till the end and nipped me after being sedated one last time as I held her at the vets office.
Hell yeah an AXMC is not a bad choice, heck for $900 check out one of American rifle co's Coupe De Grace.
Anecdote
I placed an order from one through Southern Precision on April 21. It arrived Aug 2.
I ordered a 1.45" shank MODBB blank on March 22nd, and received it last week of august.
5 months
***edit*** ordered direct from Bartlein

Greg and Russ don’t list the BB blanks separately anymore, guess I’ll give them a ring. Thanks!
I need this for the two Gt’s builds I have going. Who is doing the coating sorry if I missed it.
same as anything else. Type of material doesn't matter. CM or SS or BB.
8 months for a CFW LHGT Mod BB, ordered direct in July
edit - see franks post right above
Update - received 5 months early! I may have gotten lucky (due to a cancellation or ...?), but Bartlein really underpromised on the delivery schedule.
Thrilled I'll have this for NRL Hunter... I'm just waiting on the Manners now.

Nothing. I gave up on trying to contact them. No calls back etc... so your guess is as good as mine.
I know this is an old thread, but the topic hasnt changed much. Just Ordered a New barrel , threaded but now chambered 338 LM. I went a lot of places and read 10 tons of info on lead times etc. someone asking for a New Barrel in a month is boggling to me. They were more than honest about time frames, and this was Jan 24, 6mos to a year due to quality work adding to the order infux and even to go as far as to call me back couple days ago to make sure of my order specs. a Month ?? On that Planet ??
Keep up the Great CS Guys, Dis Old Man Appreciates ya !
Most of us here know that you can have one in a month or maybe two, from at least one of their vendors. Anybody ordering direct from bartlein today is doing it wrong, period.
IM surprised, I went an ordered it solely because of the crazy lead times I was getting on the phone. Maybe they just didnt want to sell to me or figured I wasnt serious about buying anything. Wouldnt be my first rodeo with that crap.
Much appreciate yer response, sheds light on deeper issues.
Savage 110 LRH 338 LM would like a 27-28 in barrel New flat finish no shiny stuff. threaded for brake, minimum taper heavy Varmint, Point em to me, build is done. currently still dressed in the un-shot factory barrel.
Forgot to mention, because mine is a blank if I remember correctly, told me within a couple months only needed threading as the chamber will be done later. here a pic of the rifle they dont think Im actually working on if thats da case. Im still grinning cuz Its my Bucket list.

Unless you're ordering custom and/or 400MODBB.
Yes you can order custom.
No i ain't doing it wrong by having them cut the chamber and screwing it on.
I wasn't talking about gunsmithing work.
