Wanted to share a little R&D we are doing here at Horizon. Watch the below video but we believed we have figured out color changing flutes for rifles. This way as your rifle approaches a defined temperature where barrel damage could occur your flutes will change letting you know you are approaching that temperature. Not to mention it looks awesome. Watch the video in HD to get a better look at the color change.

That is pretty cool! Or not cool I guess.


It is far more important to be able to hit the target than it is to haggle over who makes a weapon or who pulls a trigger.

You should do some lettering on the barrel that says "I'm too damn hot"

BTW - That is very cool.

That is what I wanted to ask about. If it would work when applied to the rollmark of a factory rifle and be somewhat permanent and functional, I'd be interested in the product.

Very nice, Derrick! I have seen several comp shooters run a those temp stickers on the side of their chambers to see the temps. One shooter told me he noticed a dramatic increase in group size once he reached a certain barrel/chamber temp. I'm sure there's something to it!
