So I just ordered my first DE in stainless and I have a couple of questions:
- are the gold/chrome barrels coated on the inside? I assume not.
- how good are the coatings on the Gold TiN and Chrome barrels?
- with regard to resisting damage how do the Stainless, Gold TiN, and Chrome barrels compare?
- does anyone make and aftermarket gas piston?
The reason I am asking is that my DE will be in 357 SS w/brake, and I also ordered a 429 SS w/brake, but I also want to get a 50ae. The problem is that I can't find the 50ae in SS w/brake but I can find it in Chrome for a decent price and TiN w/brake but they want over $600.
