must have been the last one. I hope stainless is good. A hunting rifle probably won’t be shot as many rounds, so cleaning may be less of an issue, but stainless should be nice for field application. (Unless I decide I love Bushy, get some dies and start shooting it more...) Next step: set up the mill and open up the port on that upper...
That'll get it done! Hard to beat an SS barrel.The picture looks like the barrel extension is matte blued or Manganese Phosphated. Might as well go for the least expensive 450b BCG as it'll need some break in anyway. A slippery against a rough surface, the slippery suffers. There's still the benefit of ease of cleaning though. Not to sound like "Debbie Downer". I'd still get the Fail Zero BCG. You'll love it in the end!
