I won't have a AR that is not a Stainless Barrel or a Chrome Lined Barrel and Chamber. For me its a matter of ease of extraction on my guns.

Anybody else have any comments on this???

Don't know your time in the Army and when. On the early M-16's you COULDN'T leave a round in the barrel over night in V-N in the jungle heat and humidity. You had one heck of a time extracting it if you did. Chrome did help fix that problem...

Read up on the melonite. It will surprise you. THAT is what brought me back into the Modern Sporting Rifles along with S&W's reputation. I was a DEVOTED Colt pony hater until I came to the light and saw a whole new world and jumped in. That and all the fine people here in the know.
