[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 747477, member: 14204"] (C&P) The materials used at Lothar Walther fall into two categories. The normal steel barrels, those which require bluing are made from LW19, a chrome-molybdenum type steel. The stainless steels, which do not require bluing are LW6, which is used mainly for .22l.r. and similar cartridges and LW50 which is used for centerfire cartridges. This last material was developed in 1994-95 as a safe alternative to 416R and to solve durability problems associated with 416R. LW50 can be used in all calibers and all contours. ([URL="http://www.lothar-walther.com/397.php"]Lothar Walther[/URL]) Supposedly, machining instructions are included on every barrels ordered.
