Does Ernest Rowe’s STX liner carbon sleeve work?

in my case I used a stainless steel rod that I had and took adhesive backed sand paper and wrapped it around the end of the rod so it just fit inside the carbon tube then do a whole lot of twisting, pushing, and turning to get it sanded out using long strokes. make sure you stop every now and then to check how far in the end of the liner with the ring will go into the carbon sleeve. don't make the mistake of using the muzzle end as it is choked and smaller diameter than the rest of the liner.

Be mindful of the dust created by sanding on carbon fiber.
Fairly nasty stuff to inhale or ingest.

Absolutely. dust mask is required.
Oh and I have a Slug A liner that I bought in the classifieds( should arrive on the 30th), that has had the Ernest Rowe sleeve installed so I may be able to compare that with mine. but it may not be to easy to do. especially since mine are both superior liners.

What you think about using stainless steel tubing size factory you can bay in dimension 12 x 9.53 490mm long for 6.35 cal wight 0.159 kg or 0.35 lbs as carbon sleeve . Is it heavy for barrel and what is beter option carbon or stainless inox steel.

always been my understanding that carbon fiber is stronger that steel, pound for pound. that and I think using the stainless steel would further complicate the harmonic issue that the carbon is trying to reduce. my mind says the stainless would continue to ring/oscillate just as the factory liner does. but given enough thickness like a bull barrel it would reduce as well, but then it tends to add weight to the front end and cause balance issue to an already nicely balanced system. Just my thoughts and I've no documentation to prove/disprove my statements.
