[QUOTE="budlight, post: 2676300, member: 2939"] I was always a stainless steel person and I got to reading about different barrel coatings like in the below link. I wanted to make a 3 gun comp build with a bipod attachment and a sling for carry and free hand shooting without a threaded barrel end. I searched and searched and came across YHM.
