I'm looking at mini 14s and heard that the tactical comes with a hammer forged barrel whereas the standard ranch rifle and other models don't. I've got a few questions:
1) is this true (Ruger's website isn't terribly detailed)?
2) does this really matter?
3) if it does really matter what's the physics behind it? Is it applicable because of the cartridge size (i.e. would a hammer forged barrel on a 10/22 be a waste of money) or something else?
Thanks
