Firearm Pricing

Cryogenic processing improves accuracy and extends barrel life by eliminating residual stress in steel and creating a tough, uniform microstructure. As repeated firings heat the steel, residual stress causes the barrel to warp unevenly. This reduces accuracy and results in poor shot grouping. After cryogenic processing, the barrel’s uniform microstructure dissipates heat more evenly and resists warping. The steel’s tighter crystalline structure also makes cleaning easier.
