The images showcase the throat area of the barrel and the initial section of the rifling just beyond the chamber. This segment of the barrel is particularly susceptible to flash erosion and flame cutting during discharge, a phenomenon that intensifies with the use of high-temperature ammunition. Despite undergoing a rigorous stress test, these photographs depict the components as remarkably preserved, displaying a condition equivalent to the original, unused state.

Barrel Discovery: Heat Sink Test
Here we subject a One Brother AR-15 barrel to an extreme heat sink torture test. Watch as the barrel, designed for resilience, faces the intense challenge of rapid-fire sessions, pushing the limits of thermal stress and friction. This test is not just about pushing boundaries; it’s a testament to innovative engineering and durability. The results are nothing short of remarkable. Despite the severe conditions, the barrel emerges with integrity intact, showcasing its superior performance and resistance to wear.
The heat readings after a certain temperature were difficult to get accurate/consistent readings due to the amount of heat waves coming off of the barrel. This is a great thing as the heat is shedding and not being retained!
