Best Answer

The metal used in firearms range from various iron alloys (steel) to aluminum, and other alloys.

Most guns, at the very least, usually have a ferromagnetic barrel (steel) for its strength. So most guns will have magnetic barrels. Lightweight guns with frames made of aluminum will NOT be magnetic. Although the frame would be close enough to the barrel for the barrel to attract a magnet THROUGH the aluminum.
