It makes sense that some steels will wear better than others.

I just wonder if rough factory barrels will wear faster than slicker custom barrels. Never heard that mentioned.

Some say SS barrels wear better than chrome moly barrels.

And, how barrels are handled has to be a factor.

How bad does a barrel have to be, to be considered finished?. What's the "cut off" point?

It's not a simple question, not a simple answer.
