WEIGHT.... the only difference... CHROMOLY CAN BE USED IN SMALLER DIAMETER DUE TO TIS STRNGTH AND THUS MAKING IT LIGHTER... -

Mine is Chromoly and weighs around 90#, plus cost about $350. I think the S&W is like $150 and is around 20# more.Originally posted by LESNOVR View PostI dont think this is true , diameter is same but the wall thickness can be lighter!It is a damn poor mind indeed which can't think of at least two ways to spell any word.

Richard. That's all I know him by. He just did a friend's Lightning. I was extremely impressed. He'll do mine. Nick
Also, all you need to do is find a place that sells steel. We just bought a bunch at a place in Mankato for my car trailer.8.54 @ 159 mph on a 275 drag radial
