Perhaps a multi asked question but can someone (without getting to technical) explain the difference in the steels (as labeled on the top flat of the barrel rib) used for barrels on Parker guns ? Perhaps strongest to weakest but not Damascus.

There seem to be several names so I wonder about their strengths. Especially if barrels have been honed/polished to about .030 MWT in the tubes with higher thickness at the front of the forcing cone and then tapering down to the .030 measurement.

Thanks in advance.
