Re: Rock Creek barrels
I have one on order myself and just called RC today with a couple of questions. Mike Rock answered the phone himself and we hung up only 40 minutes later. He shared thoughts on metals, metalurgy, machining techniques, nitriding, barrel history, politics, and more. Nice guy with a wealth of knowledge. He started in metalurgy and actually got started with barrels many, many years ago when Boots Obermeyer had a problem with some bad metal that he wanted metalurgical analysis on. Mike said Boots wouldn't let him touch a machine but shared with him a wealth of information.
