The most accurate barrels on the market..Kreiger...Les Baer...Pacnor are NOT chrome lined.

Only barrels designed for M-16's..are chrome lined.

There is NO way to get a concentric even chrome lining on the inside of a barrel....So go with a chrome moly or stainless barrel for accuracy.

Lapping or interior polish...like Baer to 2.5/3 microns....makes them sweet shooters.
