    I'm mainly concerned with how the tube reacts to the heat of a longer shoot string is all. Wasn't trying to offend. I guess it doesn't make a hill of beans either way because light guns aren't really for static shooting anyway.

    Well, I ran two 30 mags through it as fast as I could accurately yank my SSA-E at 25 yards after getting my irons sighted in. The barrel was literally smoking and I had to glove-up.... And then it was still uncomfortable. I ended up gripping the mag afterward.

    I then went prone again and my 50 yard groups were still under 1.5 inches.

    All this while the all-black gun was in the hot Florida sun the entire time.

    At that point, it was well over 100 degrees in the pit, over 80% humidity, no shade, and no breeze..... so I was having difficulty keeping my heart rate low. I expected the barrel to do much worse, actually.

    We have (of course) done internal testing. Looking forward to seeing what it does with a magnified optic attached!

    Well, I have bad news: I don't currently own a magnified optic. However, I'll do some real rested shooting in the future.

    How did you guys find the throat held up with the QPQ treatment versus chrome lining during rapid fire?

    No, but we do fully clean it prior to the process.

    Hand-lapping is very time and labor intensive. We do it for OEMs who sell our barrels, but not under the Faxon brand on the retail side.
