cryo-heat ( micro finishing )

[Dberm118]

Hey all,

Not sure if this is the right area to put this in but I'm curious at getting some opinions on this process.

Naturally coming from the motor world, motorcycles, trucks, offroad cars etc... This process has come about recently and we have all of the gears cryo-heat and micro polished. This process is supposed to harden ( reduce wear ) as well as allow for smooth engagement of different aspects of a motor. It also drastically lowers friction thus reducing temperatures.

For example a pair of sprockets were done and went 900 miles nearly wear free. crank and bottom end gears were done and an engine case was busted loosing oil and the motor when pulled apart showed very little signs of excessive heat.

 

Long story short have any of you experimented with this process in firearms? I was initially thinking barrels, than the piston set up in my new 930 jm pro came to mind than I started thinking of how beneficial this could be for many aspects of a firearm.

I think I just read that someone is interested in volunteering for doing a test!

Haha I just might. With the piston/gas system being an issue on jm pros I really think this could be an easy solution as it serves a very identical purpose on other things.
