Looking on Barret.net, the chrome bore & chamber treatment, as well as the nickel-teflon bolt & carrier, is expressly stated for the 107A1.

At one point i think it was only the short 82’s. I’d just call them directly.

Unless something has changed in the last year or two, the 50bmg long barrel m82 only has a chrome bore.
The 416 caliber M82 has both chrome bore and chamber, which is where most of the confusion arises. The M82CQ has both chrome bore and chamber and a couple other minor changes. |

It's pretty standard to not have employees know this stuff unfortunately. I've actually had decent luck on Facebook as a lot of companies seem to put a lot of importance on it. Either way I wouldn't worry about it even though I understand wanting to know.

Either way I wouldn't worry about it even though I understand wanting to know. Well I have picked up my new Barrett M82A1 and wow is it cool. That being said I really can't tell for sure if the bore is chrome lined but I have not had much time to mess with it. Looking down inside the muzzle break it does look like chrome lining on the end of the barrel. I have always been partial to high quality chrome lined barrels in military type rifles and this was one of the features that set the M107s apart from the M82s. Another reason I want chrome lining is I still have about 400-500 rounds of 88 Igman M33 that I may want to shoot someday and it's said to be mildly corrosive. |

Boretech Eliminator will take care of the corrosive salts, so don't be afraid to shoot it, just clean accordingly. You can also use hot soapy water and scrub the bore and bolt and any other parts that get coated when shooting the rifle.

No tax or any other fees. $6600 total. They have been running back to back auctions on gunbroker starting at $6500 so I called them up and asked if they had another one so that is the price we settled on. There were a couple other dealers that were very close but these guys were a little less and were very easy to work with. Very happy with them and would buy again. I was like you I wanted to get one with glass but in the end the package deal did not have the exact scope I wanted. I really like the Vortex PST Gen 2 but they all had first focal plane reticles and I want a SFP.

UPDATE:
The current M82's have both chrome lined chamber and chrome lined bore. The video on the Barrett website for the M82A1 clearly indicates the bore is now chrome lined not just the chamber. I think this is very important myself and was one of the reasons I held off until I knew I was getting the latest model. Just thought I would update this thread in case anyone else is still wondering. |

Now everyone will want to know when the cutoff is
 Glad you figured it out. I still don't think it's a huge deal but certainly almost no downside to it.
