Hi
I have been doing alot of reading here, and on the internet, about all the available barrel maker. Obviously a tube made from a bar is much stronger than a cast iron with sleeve.
I have read alot of bad comments about cast iron. Now I would like to ask the question , If all the bad press is really a concern or it's mainly people being snob or over cautious?
Dont get me wrong safety is paramount, but just like we would all like to drive a LAV-25 or M1A2 for safety on the road we all agree that its not nececery. I agree with what Tropico said in its post, to live shoot only what you can afford, but im asking if there is any stats or spec number that could prove that a seamless steel liner in a cast iron barrel is closer to a pipe bomb than a cannon.
I would love to get your opinion and if you have any ''scientific'' data.
Please consider that the venthole is going to be lined to reduce the possibility of corrosion between the casting and the liner.
I am not posting with a narrow mind, but im trying to get the whole story before choosing to get or not to get a cast iron barrel
Thank you
