That said, this 416R stainless barrel can handle the most adverse environmental situations and still be used in high-precision situations.

The finish provides superior corrosion resistance as well as a clean look. Finally, the barrels were then fluted to save weight, and dissipate some of the heat that can incur from aggressive courses of fire.
