Anyone done a barrel of your own? I have a SS ar barrel that i do not like the polished finish it has. I really like the looks of the matt finished barrels. And what would you use? Glass beads, silica sand, or something else?

I had a barrel and action soda-blasted once. It came out pretty decent: not too rough, not too shiny.

Here is a customized 629 I use to own. This is a glass bead blasted finish.
There is a long story to this revolver, but I'm not up to typing it today.
