I bought a Keymod 24" upper that has a melonited barrel.... I would like to see if it could be rechambered in .22 Nosler.
Could someone from PSA please tell me if the chamber is melonited ? In all honesty, I can't quite tell if it is. Thank You . (Title Edited by PSA) |

On the topic of barrels, are 416r or 4150 cmv barrels better for everyday use? Most of the forums online that discuss this usually pertain to higher end barrels. I am interested in the “lower end” ones that are included in PSA barreled uppers in terms of longevity and accuracy.

I am interested in the “lower end” ones that are included in PSA barreled uppers in terms of longevity and accuracy. 416-R Stainless Steel is “stainless” steel formulated specifically for gun barrels. 416-R is “stainless” in name only, as it is still susceptible to corrosion but at a reduced pace compared to common steel. Where common “416” gets brittle at freezing temperatures, 416-R is formulated to function in arctic conditions (typically recommended to -40 F). It is ideal for high-precision applications, as the free-machining characteristics of the material are excellent for creating high-definition rifling. 416-R is commonly used where high-accuracy is required. ^^ I stole the above from: http://faxonfirearms.com/blog/4150-carbon-steel-vs-416r-stainless-which-is-right-for-me/ |

Thanks for that. Do you think the trend still applies to PSA barrels?
