[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 524585, member: 2736"] You can always find someone that has a different opinion on barrel material. I would have to disagree that chrome Molly barrels last longer than stainless if treated the same way. If they are subjected to extreme heat such as a full auto can produce the chrome will hold up better for a short while then they have to be replaced. CM is cheaper so if you are going to over heat a barrel and throw it away it might as well be half the cost. For normal shooting the stainless has an edge in toughness and with out the problem of rust. So a lot depends on application and use. I have a hart stainless barreled 308 match rifle that has in excess of 20,000 rounds down the tube and it will still shoot 1/2 MOA with iron sites and all of the chrome molly barreled rifles have lost accuracy long before that. This is just my opinion based on many years of shooting both CM and Stainless. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
