I wasn't trying to be an @$$, just making sure that wasn't where you were going. I thought maybe it was because you quoted my post. Apologies.
EDIT: Oh yes, and for the record, short of the oil, you could perform surgery with my firearms on the patient. Clean is how it should be.
O.K. what's the consensus on chrome moly vandium barrels, as opposed to chrome-lined?
cleaning works wonders ... chrome is'nt important these days. do a little research and you can see it.
Chrome lining has no useful purposes, aside from military related.
Well, another 1,000 rounds of ammo and less work I suppose.Longer barrel life... If you can afford 8,000 rounds of ammo, what's a $250 barrel that anyone can swap out.
Guess I'm just lucky.Stainless steel and chromoly usually shoot moa or less. You might get lucky with a chrome-lined.
*see directly above*And maybe I have bad luck, but I've never had a case stuck in SS or chromoly barrel but have had several brass stick in different chrome lined barrels.
Automatic firing and jungle environments.What are these military related useful purposes?
So what you're saying is that if I fire enough to heat up the barrel, shoot in the mud and all sorts of nasty weather, don't enjoy cleaning, and really have no idea what any of my rifles are capable of from a benchrest... chrome lining would be a good choice, right?
JOC, does that Glock you keep OC'ing in my store have a chrome lined barrel?
Cost me $45 to add a chrome lined barrel... $55 to add a chrome BCG and bolt.
modern manufacturing processes makes getting a chrome lined barrel a waste of money you could buy ammo with.
