    Questions/Discussion on cryogenic barrel treatment.

    A search, using "my friend, the orange search button in the upper right hand corner" did not show much info, nor anything current on this subject.
    Id like to hear the latest word/opinion on cryogenically treating AR barrels. Particularly interested in those here who are high volume shooters. Anyone ever had a barrel that was good/bad/so-so, then cryo'ed it and got different results, good or bad?
    If you like or dislike it, please tell why.
    Also- do different steels, like 8620,9130, Carpenter 158, ect.,react better or worse to cryo? Are there barrel steels that you would NOT want to cryo?
    Are there visible ways to tel if a barrel has been cryo'ed? Are there markings for such?
    Besides LMT...who else cryo's their barrels?
    Would it be beneficial to cryo bolts,hammers, or other parts?
    Finally...what, if any, are the DETRIMENTS to cryo'ing a barrel?
    Looking forward to any responses and info yall may have.
