Anyone tried on barrel?

Looks like similar effects as heat treatment?

How do you know when and where and how much the barrel is in stress?

When I first toured Rock Creek many years ago, they had a homespun vibratory stress reliever for barrel blanks. A decent size steel cage w/ an electric motor mounted underneath and an off-balance weight on the motor shaft that vibrated the heck out of a pile of barrels in the cage…they said it made a hell of a racket…
