I'd keep the kit you have, imo the CHF is much better than the longer gas system with a bargain basement barrel. See if they will let you keep ot for $400 even?

Good info... exactly the type of info I'm looking for. Thx!
Since it was an unexpected package huge weight is given to the fact it's discounted and here. A lot easier to make the decision to buy yet another gun when it's sitting here in my lap.

November.... another great point. I've been stocking up on other things but it can't hurt to have a rifle in 5.56 to go along with the high cap 9mm stuff. Two of the most widely used calibers in the world... i think.

CHF nitrided? Is that description correct or a mistake?

That is a good question. That being said, I have only seen nitride salt bath process being bore and exterior. ex. I have not seen a chrome lined melonite barrel. What the hell do I know? I don't make barrels.

CHF is "Cold Hammer Forged", not anything to do with chrome liner (I think). Why would CHF and Nitrate raise eyebrows?

I assume someone is getting fired, I doubt we are the only 2 with the wrong orders...
I got 200 rounds of 308 and a charge handle that were supposed to go to Thomas C. in NC 
Pisses me off, I ordered an upper, some parts and 2 BCG's |

For your original question CHF>SS IMO, you don't need chrome lining with nitrided barrels either. |

For your original question CHF>SS IMO This is true.. but for anyone planning on doing this make sure you buy ammo with GOOD brass to convert to 300blk. When I decided to start reloading I bought 3000 rounds of 556 with brass that I couldn't convert to 300blk lol I was so pissed. Here's the list of good/bad http://www.300blktalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=88599 |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
That's the conclusion I came to on this freedom rifle package. The barrel is a CHF, without the Chrome lining. So, when a barrel is said to be nitride or phosphate, or chf with no chrome. What's the inside of the barrel lined with? I kept it.

It's not lined. Nitride is a metal treatment that essentially hardens the steel which is, in effect, like chrome lining. Property done, the nitride barrel will last as long as a chrome lined barrel. |

I really gotta stop buying guns. Having a CHF barrel with complete kit drop in my lap by 'accident' is just un-be-liev-able
