That is the true advantage of the Noveske barrels over the other Precision barrel makers. You can rapid fire it, or even on auto, and you don't completely destroy the barrel. I know for a fact that a WOA SS barrel will be opened up to about 2 MOA after you fire a 30 round mag on auto.
I have no doubt that Noveske barrels were instrumental to getting people to believe a decently accurate fighting rifle could be had in the AR15.
But beating a soft-as-butter "match" stainless with a hardness in the 20's and tight as fuck chamber isn't all that impressive...
Doing it with a stainless barrel 20ish years ago...OK.
In today's market with far more options, I don't see where anyone can't spec out something as good if not BETTER if they choose to. Moreover, even the military has figured out that even with basic bitch chrome line and the proper trigger, FF rail, ammo, and glass that much, much more can be done than the average person expected.
