Carl sent along two pictures of the new blackening treatment that BHW will be using. Details were thin but a shot peening process was mentioned. Apparently the military is using it and the test pieces done up are extremely well liked.

Shot peening makes sense work hardening the surface. Tends to diminish surface flaws which can reduce stress risers. I wonder if adding to the outer surface strength changes the harmonics much. Clever to use an old hot rod technique on a gun barrel makes you wonder what the intent was. Probably not a youngster who came up with it as the last time I saw it in print related to British 4 cylinder convertible motors. Paul

Paul Just a SWAG but lowering the inherent stress would seem to be a benefit for accuracy with more consistent harmonic generation. Greg

I like it! More than likely it'll be more rugged in the long run.

I'm anxious to hear when this will be available, and how much it'll be.

Perhaps I'm confused...so are you saying if I spend the extra $14.95 on making the barrel black the above peening is what I get? If so, you guys are freakin' awesome.

Hello Greg,
This New Shot Peened Black Coating sounds really NICE!!! Does it have a slight sheen to it as opposed to the Flat Black finish the barrels usually have? A picture would be worth One Thousand Words. Have you got a picture to share? If there's one posted somewhere just point me In The right direction and I will find it my Friend. Thanks Eric
EDIT;
Ok, my internet is running really Slow tonight and now the picture has Loaded. Man, that is One Sexy Barrel Finish! I really like that A LOT!!! I Must Have One or 2 to go with the others that I've Gathered. ;-) Eric

All I can say is DUH . I'm Really Glad the picture loaded and I was able to catch my silly mistake before it got too embarrassing on my end . That is a finish that would Really look Great on a Blackout Barrel. Are they making any 10" Barrels with a pistol Length Gas system now?
Thanks for keeping us informed with all the new info, and yes my friend You & BHW are Awesome!!!

I do believe that a 10" barrel is as far away as a phone call and an E-mail. What caliber choices they have is unknown to me. I suppose I could order one up for my M16 for grins. Maybe in a 6X45. Greg

Hey Greg,
I tried calling Thursday and Friday but all I ever got was a recording saying ; The person at this number is Not taking calls at this time;!! Have they changed their numbers?
I never got a person or voicemail any of the times? Thanks Eric
