Thanks Bob any idea about the finishes they don't really go into detail in their website as far as the advantages of the two processes.

I think the liqui-blast is similar to a bead blast, which removes the glossy finish and leaves a matte finish. You don't want shiney stuff in the woods.
S-Carb is a surface treatment for stainless that hardens the metal a few 0.001" deep inside and out. It makes your barrel last longer. It is similar to nitrocarburization for carbon steels, but S-Carb is optimized for stainless steels. |

Fluting also increases the surface area of the barrel which increases it's ability to disipate heat faster... |

I'd give them a call and ask. It's a small operation but it wouldn't hurt to ask. They're also about to throw an ad up in SHOTGUN News so I'd call before that happens. Good looking ad, too.
