Hi everyone, I've been planning to replace the old barrel of my gun. Is stainless steel a worthy choice?

In terms of corrosion resistance and durability, I would recommend stainless steel.

Agreed. Apart from that, I found stainless steel barrels generally easier to clean.

But what about performance? Does it perform better than other alternatives?


RE "is a Stainless Steel Barrel Better in Terms of Durability and Performance? - Emiliano - 01-23-2025

I found the performance to be dependable, but that depends on the type and grade of stainless steel used.

The grade is key - 416r grade stainless steel is known for its excellent accuracy.
