I have a cousin that is a professional blacksmith and according to him the higher the quality of the steel the greater the chance of it ringing on impact with another hard object.I trust his professional opinion and I took that to mean that barrels that don't ring are of lesser quality material that ones that do ring, not to say that they will fail... but I no longer buy guns that wont make a little noise when struck. Everyone can make whatever they will of it but all my 16 guns "Ring True" and I have not yet had a problem with any of them.
