March 8, 201115 yr Are there noticeable advantages with a chrome lined barrel? I am going to purchase a barrel as the next component of my black rifle. I could save $35 bucks or spend it if I go with the chrome lined barrel. Does chrome lining make a difference in accuracy? I would assume chrome lined barrels stay cleaner since it must be more difficult for fouling to stick to chrome. Does chrome add noticeable weight to the build?
March 8, 201115 yr Chrome LINED is good for sustained full auto fire, and corrosion protection. Accuracy suffers very slightly. Easy to clean. Dont buy it for the corrosion protection, because you still have to take care of the rest of the rifle anyways. Chrome MOLY barrels are not chrome LINED, they are a special steel. They are a strong wear resistant alloy but somewhere in between "normal" barrel steel and chrome lined. Neither adds weight
