We all have heard about barrel frosting in the bores and chambers and we recognize it when we see it. Here are a few questions for the learned:
a. What exactly is it?
b. What causes it?
c. Can it develop overnite, or does it take months, years or even decades to show up?
d. Is it physically detrimental to the gun or is it purely an aesthetic issue?
e. Is it like a cancer and will spread if not addressed?
f. How do we prevent it from occuring?
g. Can it be removed with a light polishing or do the bores need to be honed with metal removed to get rid of it?
h. Are barrels with chrome lined bores less susceptible to frosting?
