What are the pros and cons between melonite and stainless gas tubes. And has anyone used or any input with Aero Precision Gas Blocks.

Parkerized or anodize or chrome a choice? At first thought I’d go for stainless.

Stainless is the gold standard. That said Melonite has come a long way in coating application and is very slikery so it may have an effect over the long run. Parkerized would gunk up way too quickly, hard chrome would be a great option anodized would refer to aluminum and I’m not sure I want an aluminum gas tube. AP gas blocks are just about as good as anyone’s, I prefer split tube clamp ons as a rule because the set screw ones have a nasty tendency to unset and or negatively affect barrel harmonics if that is a concern to you.
