Question, why would the M92 barrel NOT be chromed lined and the M85 would be chrome lined?

There isn't a good reason, but what I've read and heard is that the M85 was made for export to NATO members and NATO required chrome bores.
M92's bores are similar to other Yugo issued 7.62x39 arms.  
From a practical point of view, there is plenty of corrossive 7.62x39mm out there and not much 5.56 corrosive, so practically the M92 would ideally be chrome lined, but sadly no.

Still the m92 is capabe of decent accuracy and groups when shooting from the bench - its a good barrel, just not chromed.

Seeing as how these are good pistols,  couldn't we have either the whole gun or the barrels nitride treated?
