AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
How much does anodizing affect the bore of a barrel? just wondering
Anodizers can seal off the internal bore of a solid barrel or back if asked to. Otherwise, the dimetral change depends on the anno layer of the finish. Different providers use different thicknesses and such. Any decent anodizer should be able to let you know when they give you a quote.
Typical anodizing gives layer of .0002" to .001" (half which is grown into the surface and half out of the surface). Surfaces anodized will become slightly larger by about .0005"
This will change the inside diameter of a barrel by approx. .001"
i.e. .688 will change to .687

note on that, if your barrel when it has an ano on it and it is x size, the original layer gets striped down, so it is X + the full ano layer striped (it goes in as far down as it coems up IIRC) then it gets added back on.
un less you are dealing with very small backs that you do not want to loose any size on its not very noticable and shouldn't preform much differantly
