My gun smith has made the comment he really likes machining Stainless. He says it cuts smoother and more easily for some reason unknown to me.
Wow I am an apprentice machinists right now, and after a year of turning metals on the lathe and using a Chavelier mill I have never heard the words "Stainless is easier to mill/work with" granted I have never turned a barrel to date, but I cant believe that Stainless barrels are easier to work then regular steel.
