JP "Machine Finish" picture?

[toddm]

Looked around the internet, forums,  and JP's website with no luck, does anyone have a picture of what their standard "Machine Finish" actually looks like? 

 

There's a picture at:  https://www.jprifles.com/buy.php?item=JPSM6.5C-22M8XL   that shows one barrel that looks like a flat grey, almost a dark bead blasted finish, I'm wondering if it's that because that looks about exactly what I'd prefer.  

 

Thanks

Curious as to why you're asking...

Found this on their website:  http://www.jprifles.com/bulletin/propost_july_2015_02_02.html

why not call them up or shoot them an email?  i'm sure they'll help you out better than myself or the other forum trollers.

It appears to be one of their finish/color options for their barrels.  

 

They offer   "Machine Finish",  Light Polished, High Polished, and Black Teflon.    From what I gathered on their webpage their barrel kits and built guns come with High Polish

 

Since Machine Finish appears to be their "standard" finish (others are all an upcharge) I figured it would be a popular option and someone would have a picture handy without bothering JP but I can send them an email.

I have two CTR-02 rifles. I believe that they either have the light polish or machine finish barrels. The bolt carrier in the newer one is highly polished and noticeably smoother than the barrel. I just checked both box labels and neither mentions barrel finish, so I am not completely sure. The picture that you reference looks like a bead blasted barrel, they have done a few barrels like that. PM me if you wish and I can send a picture of my barrel, but again, I am not sure which finish that I have.

Yeah I did hear back from JP, the picture on the top is their bead blast "tactical" finish, it's only listed in the Rifle Builder or by request, it's not in the normal barrels purchasing area as a finish option, and it's $100 up charge.   JP did not have a picture of the machine finish off hand, they said most of their rifles and kit barrels are either high polish or light polish finish, the high polish being pretty darn shiny.   I have a 18" supermatch barrel and it must be the light polished version.    They did say the machine finished barrels have no clean up done to them and can be pretty rough showing a lot of machine marks and inconsistency in finish from shiny to dull.

I have an 18" supermatch as well. I'm guessing it is a light polish since it isn't "reflective" but it is a flawless brushed polish. I don't really see JP shipping even a machine finished barrel with machining marks on it.
