I have evidence that shows no matter what the barrel is made of the nitro-carbonizing treatment out performs chrome in every instance and that material like the 4140 steel that they use for the barrel allows for the treatment to form a deeper layer of Melonite than the higher grade of steels which makes for a barrel that has way more wear and corrosion resistance than the other options plus the 1-8 rifling allows for accuracy out of faster bullets than the 1-9. If you want the engineering report on that I can paste and copy that also. Just putting in my two cents. But I can substantiate all of these claims. To me this just means the barrel on my sport will outlast me. IMHO
