Alright I'm looking into these two barrels. So far from what I've read melonite barrel sounds superior to the "Mil-spec" chrome lines barrel which commonly comes on the Colt M4.
I want to discuss and learn the Pros and Cons and do a comparison between these two respective barrels.
Melonite
- Dissipates heat faster
- Better for sustained fire
- Stronger and thicker barrel (wear resistant)
- Superior longevity
- Coefficient of Friction is Reduced (from what I have read)
Chrome Lined
- Lighter
- "Mil-spec"
- Cheaper
- Not sure what other advantages it has
Does anyone know for a fact which barrel can improve accuracy? I have read some people saying melonite barrel is better for accuracy than chrome-lined barrel. If that's true anyone know exactly why?
