| J&J Ceramic, without the ceramic coating? Did J&J ever make a "Ceramic" styled barrel without the ceramic coating? I got a J&J barrel a few years ago with a Pro/Carbine and it looks just like older Ceramic barrels, but it doesn't appear to have the same coating as the new Ceramics. Did the coating change? The new ones are a bit rough inside, you don't really see a good mirror finish. Yet mine is perfectly smooth inside and a lot smoother outside than other Ceramics. It looks like it's just anodized. I'll get a pic if necessary. For now it looks just like this:  |

 | Yep, different. Pure brass, Black and another coating I can't recall.

  | That barrel looks brass. Is it heavy? They changed colors. Ceramic is more or less a gimmick and iirc the things are just anodized with is technically a ceramic coating.

| Definitely not brass. I have brass barrels to compare it to. Just olive colored and VERY smooth inside, unlike the other Ceramics I've seen. I guess I'll chalk it up to either being worn in, polished by the previous owner, or just a different ceramic coating. |

| I think that color / porting pattern was one of the first runs. The ceramic barrels then went to a grayish color and now most are black. This cocker on ebay has a similar one on it. Lovely Autococker - eBay (item 170233604389 end time Jul-03-08 17:47:36 PDT)
