EmanP Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Can you refinish Noveske/LaRue/PacNor/etc. barrels without a detriment to accuracy? I know LaRue Ionbonds thier barrels but can it be done after the fact without causing issues? Is the barrel extension then refinished to and would it extend the life of the barrel?

soaringf22 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 walter birdsong black t...time and time again do they provide service to marksmen and military. All over the world, even bringing a portable kit to a US Army base in Germany. I'm pretty sure they still have the contract for several federal agencies' weapons as well.

smokshwn Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Are you asking about just an external finish or are you trying to put a finish within the bore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmanP Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 Refinishing the barrel as a whole. Do you include the barrel extension as well or would that need to be removed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokshwn Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 There is really no reason to finish the barrel extension unless you absolutely want it. With a coating like Ionbond there shouldn't be a problem covering the extension as it is very thin. With the durakote/cerakote finishes you might have a problem as they can be built up thick enough to change the dimension however it would have to be pretty egregious. As to your original question there shouldn't be any problem refinishing a barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
