Boy ain't that the truth..... Usually after the first 1 or 2 questions I ask, I can pretty well determine if this guy knows his stuff or if he belongs in the outer wear department. Some guys you just want to slap upside the head for being so stupid.
Well anyway.. regardless of that. Just remember that even if you buy a stainless barrel, you are still going to have to maintain it as you would a chrome moly barrel. You might get away with a little more time before cleaning but the stainless will corrode just the same.
