The stainless barrels have no chrome lining and a 1/8 twist rifling.
S/B more accurate with 60-75 grain bullets. I'm also thinking about the same model from BCM... |

The steel barrel is a gov profile and the stainless looks medium profile. So, just guessing, but i would assume the stainless barrel is a little heavier. I dont think it will be a lot heavier.
The main issue is accuracy vs life. The SS barrel will be a little more accurate. The steel barrel will last a little longer. |

Do you know which one is heavier? The standard SS410 upper is 4oz heavier than the standard gov profile upper. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Noticeable when shooting from a bench, no. If offhand or carrying it all day then yeah you could probably notice it. If you consider a lightweight upper, which would save an additional 4-5 oz then that is a pretty substantial difference.

But 'cmon 4 oz. I still drink my refreshments out of a 12 oz. can. A quarter pounder with cheese should not impact your decision one way or the other.

That will have a substantial weight savings also.
