Increase accuracy of firearms with cryogenic processing of gun barrels

Firearms application

History

With today's highly competitive shooters, the necessity for sophisticated deep cryogenic processing has become a reality. In addition to stress relief, today's shooters are finding that controlled deep cryogenic processing of gun barrels dramatically increases their accuracy and wear life. SubZero Cryogenics Ltd offers shooters a state of the art deep cryogenic. Processing. We are now able to make this wear life and accuracy improvement technology available to all shooters. Our process benefits all types of firearms, guns, rifles, shotguns, etc.

Deep cryogenic process

Deep Cryogenics is the methodology of ultra low temperature processing of materials at -196°C to enhance their desired metallurgical properties. This special process is not a surface treatment; it affects the entire mass of the barrel or component being treated, making it stronger and more uniform throughout.

Reasons for the enhanced material properties

Most barrels have residual stresses and distortions throughout their entire length. While shooting, heating and cooling occurs which will cause the barrel to warp unevenly and cause random shot placement. A barrel that has been processed by SubZero Cryogenics Ltd will dissipate heat quickly and more evenly and allow the shooter to achieve the tightest groups possible. The primary reason for dramatic accuracy improvement is the elimination of residual stresses, which are inherent in the barrel from the manufacturing process. The barrel will become more uniform, free from stresses and tighter microstructure after the deep cryogenic process.

Rifle actions and barrels must be packaged separately and a copy of proof of ownership and license may be required

Benefits

Thermal and mechanical stresses are relieved, reducing the possibility of uneven warping while firing, improving accuracy. The metals porosity is reduced, thereby reducing friction, excessive heat and wear. The tighter surface structure also makes the barrel and complete firearm much easier to clean!

Testimonial

"My Weatherby after cryogenic processing is great! Noticeable accuracy gain, improved heat dissipation, etc. Of course it will be a while to know about wear, but one thing I did notice is a gain of about 100 to 150 fps in same powder loads."
