Barrelpro? : Hi all, I've heard stainless steel barrels are pricier and the benefits are overstated. Any thoughts?
Firearmfred? : It is true Barrelpro, they can be a bit expensive. But in terms of accuracy and longevity, I think stainless steel barrels are worth every penny. ?
Gungal_90? : Well Fred, the downside might be the weight. Stainless steel barrels are significantly heavier, it's something to consider if you are concerned about the overall weight of your firearm.
Shootersdigest? : Great points everyone, although the increased weight and cost might be drawbacks, the superiority when it comes to accuracy and life-span can't be denied. Balance is key! ? ️
