My FAL is a DSA STG58A, and has the original Austrian military barrel, complete with chrome lining. I like the chrome lining, and such a thing belongs on any rifle destined for the field, I think.
However, on DSA's new production FALs, the barrels are available in either chrome moly or stainless steel.
I know stainless steel is pretty whether resistant, and don't think a stainless barrel would NEED to be chrome lined. What's a "chrome moly" barrel, exactly? Is this similar to chrome lining? Is it better/worse?
