I figure most of the 1/9 twist barrels will be the 4140, but as I've stated in other posts, I'm a tech junkie and "just want to know". Also, alot of folks use "Wilson" (Wilson arms) heavy match barrels and E.R. Shaw "heavy match" barrels, I assume they are mostly 4140 when supplied to RRA, DPMS, Model 1, etc unless they are the 416 SS?????
Great post, very informative. Thanks for your time input into it.
