Barrel Finish Options - Satin vs Blackened

[radioflyer777]

Greetings,

Does anyone know if the satin finish is still available via phone order?  I don't see that as an option on the new website. Also, I'm wondering if the satin finish has the some of the same benefits as the black shot peened finish in terms of durability?

Thanks,

They no longer do the satin finish. It is not equivalent the black finish. Of all they have done satin was the least durable in that it scratched and scuffed easily in comparison. The shot peened surface actually seems to make the barrel shoot a bit better thanks to the inherent stress relief that occurs during the process.
