[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 469060, member: 2736"] Fit, Finnish and twist rates are the key to more velocity potential. Stainless is more difficult to machine so more labor is required in order to meet quality standards, hence the price difference. The problem with some chrome molly barrels is that less care is taken with some of them and a poor barrel is more common. Quality is often controlled by price. and not the material. Either material can be very accurate and have good velocities as long as the quality is there. The fact that a stainless barrel is normally always lapped and a lot of carbon barrels are not could lead to that conclusion but it is not a good comparison. If you were to lap a carbon steel barrel and not lap the stainless barrel the outcome would be just the opposite. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
