I'm curious about stainless steel barrels, pros and cons. They are typically used in "Match" and bull barrels, so the implication is that they can be made to be more accurate.
Are there any downsides? Why aren't all AR's (for instance) using stainless barrels? Do they heat and cool as effectively under rapid fire? Is cost of materials or production a factor?
