Stainless barrel?

Post by **kokopelli** » Sat Dec 13, 2014 6:04 pm

416 stainless...

good/bad/ugly? I know the 'shorter life span/better accuracy' web chatter, but does anyone have hands-on experience with a stainless barrel?

I run a few match barrels that are stainless, no problems and they are my most accurate but im sure thats due to the whole MATCH thing.

Stainless barrel can be "match" grade or not.

I prefer standard steel from a gunsmithing level but neither
Like or dislike stainless steel.

I'm thinking about getting this, and later having it cut to 14.75" and the A2 flash hider pinned on since I can't find anyone to drill my 14.5" barrel for the FSB. I don't want to use a clamp on FSB

If you're willing to send it out to be worked on I'm sure there are plenty of reputable businesses that would work on it.

here's the one I'm looking at:

compared to a 14.5" mid length with FSB, this is cheaper, and comes with a 'free' upper (relatively speaking) that would offset the cost of shortening it...

Ordered one of those last night. Can't be too bad. I don't think you or I would be able to tear it up.

Figured with that and the other parts I have it should be about a 400 dollar build.

I am not impatient. Ordered it on credit card. I have no qualms about using them to do my bidding and saying they never filled my order. I have ordered from them before with no problem.

those barrels are from freedom arms or something i believe

Send it up whatever barrel to ADCO to get it done.
