Tried getting some feedback in my build thread but no replies as to this particular point. I'm looking at a Seekins upper and they offer two barrels (both Rock Creek blanks), the ss match barrel and a 5R cut rifle barrel.
I looked around and it sounds like 5R is basically rounding the rifling grooves in the barrel to lessen bullet deformation (increasing accuracy) and increasing barrel longevity by decreasing wear.
Is that impression correct? Is it worth the $200 difference? I have asked Seekins about the difference between their barrels but haven't been able to get a response.
Thanks
