well then this I know
the 22 lr barrels are much much better in SS
no experiecnce with the other calibers, but the carbon fibre barrels although light were pretty much garbage,
I never shot them but the 2 guys that had them sopld the barrels for 150 bucks each as they were not good at all, you milage may vary but I would go with the snake barrel or something else and you will like the results, they make pretty good barrels
and yes to you PM just got back from the usa shooting competition this evening
