I’m looking at an AR pistol in 300 Black Out and was wondering if barrel treatment or material made a huge difference in durability. Choices are between stainless, nitride, and phosphate without chrome lining, which I take to mean standard steel on the inside.
My thinking is for my purposes it probably won’t make a difference. I have nitride and stainless barrels in 5.56 and 308. I have a plain steel bore barrel in 30-30. I haven’t decided if I want to build an upper or get one ready made. Ultimately I’d like to get an SBR stamp and put a real stock on it.
My purpose is just to try 300 BO. It would end up being a range gun and HD option, perhaps with a minor in pest control if the requirement ever came up.
