Tikka T3 stainless finish?

[emmagator]

Im gonna rebarrel my Tikka, but it has a rough stainless finish, its not smooth, like sand blasted or something. Does anyone know what this is so i can match barrel to action?

I think they just bead blast them, i'm not sure though

Bead blast, i think your right. Ill have to find out if the barrel maker im looking to use performs this service. thanks

I read or heard somewhere it's bead blasted at 30 PSI for the rough look. JohnnyK.
