I read that the chambers were chrome lined but the barrels are not unless specified. It also said that some of the older chambers were not chrome lined. Which ones?

LZOYDG: You had better go back to and reread the MD AR site. I said ALL CHAMBERS were chrome lined - NOT the bores. Later production (last few years) have unlined barrels UNLESS they are Military style A2 or M4 profile barrels - You do know what that means right??
Here is the Partial Posting: Colt (Hartford, CT): Chrome Lined Barrels & Chambers: All current manufacture 5.56 rifles have chromed chambers, only M4 & A2 barrels have chrome bores (older barrels do have both chrome lined bores & chambers) Chamber Type: M16 Barrel Material: 4150 chrome/moly (Mil-Spec) |

Forest,
My bad. I don't know how I missed that. I'm not real familiar with barrel types yet, so let's just cut to the chase....what model post-ban Colt has a 20-inch 1:9 chromed barrel? Thanks again for the help. |

No 20" post-ban 1/9 Colts have chrome-lined barrels that I know of. Conversely, all Bushmaster 20" 1/9 barrels are chrome-lined.

Well, then it looks like Bushmaster is getting a sale next week! I really wanted a Colt, but from what I've read on these forums, the quality is comparable ("ford vs. chevy"), and the 1:9 twist is preferable, as is the chrome bore. It'll be interesting to see how my brother-in-law's MT6551 shoots compared to a Bushy XM15e2s. The only difference being the Colt's 1:7 twist and the Bushy's HBAR.
Thanks for the input, guys! |
