Here is a pic of two barrels and a muzzle brake that I had QPQ treated as discussed in this thread http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1673958#Post1673958
I decided to post the pics as I had no idea what the finish looked like when the barrels were treated with the QPQ process. The barrels have a very uniform matt finish that looks very similar to a very deeply blued barrel. The picture does not do justice to the quality of the finish. I will probably not do anything further to the finish of the barrels.
I do not have anything to report regarding the accuracy of the barrels or whether it increases the life yet. I will try to keep folks aware of what my experiences with this new process is. One of the barrels is a 6mm BR that will go on my F-class rig for 300 yards. The other barrel, and muzzle brake, are a 338 Edge.
I will start shooting the 6mm BR tomorrow as I develop loads for it and I will probably have a couple rounds through it by Summer's end. It will take longer to accumulate rounds on the Edge as I do not have much opportunity to reach beyond 1,000 yards and I already have easier ways to accurately get to 1k right now.
