Brass is a soft metal, prone to scratching. If you were firing steel BBs, this would be a problem. But, the polymer BBs are much softer than the barrel, so I wouldn't worry about it. Stock barrels in most guns are brass as well. They can hold up for many years and hundreds of thousands of rounds.

Stainless is harder, more brittle than brass, and is easily polished. So, it's fine for a barrel material as well.
