I've got a couple aluminum barrels I'd like to have Freak bored that I do not want to reanodize (old CCI colors). Does this cause a problem since the inside of the bored out area is, in effect, raw?
Thanks...

Not necessarily no. -
With reasonable care not a big issue. Anodizing does harden the surface a little so helps with wear so given it is inside and you are using inserts it should be reasonably well protected. I keep an insert in my freak bored barrels that are raw just to be on the safe side. If you add a little paste wax to the raw aluminum the inserts slide in and out easily and the wax provides a little protection.

Same. And I use SS freak inserts. SS and aluminum tend toward galvanic corrosion, which I've seen once when I forgot to clean and dry the insert before putting it away for a year or more. It was a little seized, which I broke by twisting the insert and then managed to pull it out.Comment

The biggest issue with boring old phantom barrels in particular is that the oring groove leaves that section precariously thin.Comment
