Got up this morning feeling a urge to ask a dumb question. So,
I always thought the steel used in firearms was fairly high grade. Especially for barrels, frames, cylinders and such. But a friend tells me that stainless steel used is actually a fairly low grade. He says you can tell by how well a magnet is attracted to it. I think he is about as knowledgeable as me on firearm steel. Very little. Is he right??
