What is the benefit of bead blasting for this?

1. It looks pimp.
2. It doesn't reflect badly like a regular shiny SS.
3. I *think* it is better at holding a finish.

#1 is all that matters

Although, I really want it for the "non-shinyness"

Ohhh, I guess the stainless barrels I've seen have been bead blasted then, because they were not shiny. I knew about the finish reason, but nothing other than that. This will be my first stainless rifle barrel.

The only thing I would be worried about is availability. I'd hate to wait until January and then it be Feb or so until we can get them. I'm just being hypothetical and all, but the way this firearm stuff is lately it could happen...

 

[YukonGlocker]

I don't think availability will be less in January than it is now. There is the possibility that we will have to wait on them to be made. I will find out more when I call them.

According to 65grendel.com AA doesn't have any barrel/bolts available now.

Exactly my point.
Thanks.

How many buyers are you waiting for until you call?

 

[YukonGlocker]

No specific number.
