Why should we Free BSD?
It may help on that contour D.A.
I would just buy a Kreiger AR10 with a M110 Profile. That bad boy will shoot.
You are a dangerous friend to have, in regards to the piggy bank.

Yep. Just like weighing powder charges to 1/100th of a grain - if you THINK it helps, it does.'zactly. Cryo is more of a snake oil sale for the shooting community. Normalizing I can see have more of an effect.
Another poster talked of the mental side. I believe he's right.
"It" works? What works? Cryogenic barrel treatment? Or, maybe the other "stuff" done to the rifle?The M1A that I bought from a very good friend, had been cryo'd before I got it.
Kreiger Hvy Match barrel.
More 'stuff' done to this gorgeous rifle than I could tell you.
FWIW, clean-up is a LOT faster, quicker, easier on this barrel, than any other that I've ever owned.
Accuracy????
Think what you want, but, this rifle will hold 1" groups at 200 yards, as long as you can hold 'er steady.
Snake oil????? I don't know.
Am I convinced it works?????? It works on THIS rifle!
These are the people that cryo'd the M1A that I have.

Even if we could blame only the barrel, "Krieger" is actually the story there...not the aftermarket cryo that managed not to damage an already excellent barrel. The performance you are seeing is to be routinely expected from a standard, un-cryo'ed Krieger barrel.
I currently have two untreated Kriegers and both clean up easily and both shoot great. I can tell they shoot great because both are mounted on stable, shooter-friendly platforms and I am using NightForce 22x scopes, so I can see to drive them.
Marc357 here has a .300WinMag that had a Krieger barrel that went 4,000 rounds and was just over 1 MOA when he scrapped it. It shot sub-MOA well into the 3,000 round region. Untreated.
If every untreated Krieger shot like hell and every treated Krieger barrel shot great, THEN we would have something beyond anecdotal information. If your rifle could be used somehow to actually prove cryogenic treatment has tangible, repeatable, provable results, I'd buy into it and obviously Krieger would NOT let one leave the factory without it. Otherwise...no proof exists and I'm a hard sell without actual facts.
As a sidebar, if I had an M1A that truly shot a reliable and repeatable 1/2 MOA at 200 yards, day in-day out, I'd sit up all night and look at it...
Funny, I was going to ask if cryo was still a thing. And then I just saw of video by Iraqveteran888 on the Valkryie with a cryo'd barrel on Youtube.
They were claiming 80 ft/sec faster.
I had barrels cryo'd back in the late 80's or early 90's. The gunsmiths claimed that stainless barrels machined easier and lasted longer. I never had one cryo'd and one not to do an A - B comparison. I don't know if they really lasted longer or not.
