[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1664141, member: 2736"] Yes. 416 R Is resulfurized to make it Free machining SS Steel thus the "R" designation. Most barrel makers use this grade of SS Steel for their barrel. It gives it better machining characteristic for better chambers and bore uniformity. The down side of this type of alloy is I is not considered weldable(There is realy no reason to weld on a rifle barrel in the first place) But if the design needs require welding another alloy is chosen. There are other grades of 416 that exhibit different characteristics that will work, but are more difficult to machine. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
