Sorry about getting off the topic at hand. I don't have any opinion on whether they fry any faster than a standard barrel. However I have in the past sectioned several dozen take off barrels, just to see what they look like around and in front of the chamber. One thing I have noticed is massive cracking for the first 12" or so of the barrel, the length of the cracking was dependent on the caliber and number of rounds shot. The point here is the cracks may come from expanding metal when the high pressure is pushing the bullet down the tube. like a duck egg in a Rattle Snake. Now we turn the barrel down to a skinny tube and coat it with whatever is popular today. I wonder what that egg in the snake looks like?
