Hey guys,
Got another question for the techies out there. With the new generation of barrels out there, there seem to be alot more barrel with aluminum backs versus the old skewl stainless. Boomies, JT, Full Tilts all have Stainless backs (where the ball contacts), while CP's, The New J&J Epics, and Freaks (stainless back still has alumium inserts) have aluminum backs.
I understand Stainless backs to be more durable than aluminum. It will be more scratch resistant to guarantee a more reliably smooth surface, whil the alumnum can scratch and the bore can enlargen.
Is this fact over rated? Let me know all your opinions. I got to admit, all aluminum is sooooo much lighter than my Boomy =(.
