[QUOTE="Ragnarnar, post: 1286082, member: 98218"] ive thought about it awhile. It's snake oil. Buy it if you have 900 bucks to burn, but if I understand the principal here it won't do anything to extend the life of the barrel. Accuracy? Very possibly. The over sized diameter will dampen harmonics and stay cooler longer due to the filler in the sleeve which will prevent walking as the barrel heats up. If it heats up at all. Will the accuracy gained be so much more so than a rifle with a AMU or M24 contour to justify the 900+ added cost? Highly doubtful. IF I were to do this, and that's a huge IF, I'd only do it on something with a super long barrel life. 5000+ rounds at a minimum. I don't like the prospect of buying a premium barrel (I'm sure their definition of worn out differs from mine, and I just can't see them shelling out for a benchmark every time I burn out a low-barrel-life-cartridge barrel) for 300+ then another 900+ for the sleeve and filler install at a regular interval.
