[QUOTE="Super Dave, post: 2436201, member: 8429"] That may be the best steel vs. brass article that I have ever read! Here is my math: 10,000 rounds of Federal XM193 if you bought it at Academy is $4995. Ad tax, and that's $5434.31. 10,000 rounds of Tula $2995(it's what is on the shelf at Academy right now, and although it the carbine used to test it failed, it was not the ammo. the remainder of the 10,000 rounds tested were fired in two other rifles with a total of 6 malfunctions) After tax that is $3258.41. Now ad an average barrel (How about a cold hammer forged from Spikes?) $290. Ad $20 for shipping. That's $3568.41. Even if you bought two barrels, it is only $3878.41. That is a difference of $1555.90, if I got TWO barrels. For $1555.90, and considering I have about $575 in my basic AR, I could almost have THREE MORE RIFLES, or two more with change, or one pricey one, or gas, or a few house payments, etc, etc, etc.....
