g251 welcome to the forums, there was a study about the procedure several years ago, i think it was in guns and ammo, the best i remember it was a controlled process and took the barrel down to a certian temp and then brought it back up on a controlled time scale, i'll dig and see if i can find the article,it was very interesting, i don't recall the cost involved or the % of benefit, but i'll look;)

Knight is doing this on some of their black powder rifles . They say it increases accuracy and makes cleanup easyer . They back it up allso with an accuracy gaurnty which is tighter for those models , so there must be something to it .

No Remington does not chryo treat their barrels but you should read this if you are interested.

I have heard about the benefit of this treatment but thought it would be a very expensive thing to do to a rifle. After reading this article I find that it costs only about $50 per barrel I think I will have to send ane or two out sometime.
