Bruce and Mike, I have already procured a testing facility and they are awaiting the samples. That is the easy part. Now to just get the samples back. As I said before. Stay tuned...
I want to agree with Mike that the barrel steel is virtually the same but as Bruce stated there are definite differences in the way the barrels finish up and I am inclined to think that it may be the result of a higher chromium content in the higher grade barrels.
