know this might sound like a stupid question but i'm wondering if a SS barrel that has been bead blasted will have any changes in accuracy. i don't see how it would but the thought hit me and i cant seem to find a straight answer on the net. thanks in advance for any info

I think the bead blasting is only for color isn't it? I'm probably wrong.

If it was bad then Noveske wouldn't be doing it to stainless barrels.
Good to take the shine away and have a matte finish.
Looks good too

Ya it's to take off the shine from the SS i think. But when they do it ti's taking little parts of the barrel off right? Is that enough to mess with how the barrel performs?

No
Look at the barrel in the picture and notice the barrel extension isn't blasted.
blasting the outside of the barrel will not effect any performance but if blasted under the gas block, muzzle threads and shoulder and
barrel extension then it could effect how things fit.
