They have models that have CL. The Sport does not. Melonite, after much research, is what I'd prefer on ALL my rifle barrels if I could have it.So, I went into my LGS...
They confused me. I think I'm going to make up my mind, stick with it and have it transferred in.
They were telling me that EVERYONE was getting away from the chrome-lined barrel, the Colt was $1200.. and that Smith&Wesson doesn't include a Chrome lined barrel, despite what their website says and that they are "wise and big enough to lie".. etc..

Maybe try a new shop. S&W is big, but lie they don't, and the shop in question seems to be under educated.Yeah, I realize that. I was just noting how the LGS claims that Smith and Wesson are lieing about it. They even said they don't ship what the website specs say etc. They are big enough and smart enough to lie.. blah blah.
and the shop in question seems to be under educated.
PM me shop in question. I may be able to recommend several highly rated shops here in the Metro STL area, as well as surrounding areas.This is the same shop that almost had me for $850 on a DPMS a while back. They were cool enough to refund my money when I realized it wasn't what I needed/wanted.
Try to give the local guy my business, but seems like everytime I go in there they are substantially higher than everyone else, and full of it.

Show Me boys gotta look out for each other!

The Smith has 5R rifling- that is, an odd number of lands and grooves, making for a better bullet fit in the bore.So uh.. which has the better barrel.. the Windham or the Smith and Wesson?
They both seem like good guns, but the Windham has a lifetime warranty..
The Smith.. 1 year full and lifetime repair, pretty much the same..
So.. now we're down to the barrel..
