Depends on the barrel. All 'Govt Type' barrels are fully chrome lined.
Starting in the late 1990s Colt stoped chroming the bores of some of their civilian line. So SPTiger you're in the clear. |

I know the model 6400 carbine is cahmber and bore but I think the match target rifles they have now is just chamber.My first AR was a blue label HBAR 6601 that had bore and chamber chrome lined.

There's a comparison chart floating around here that says something to the effect that Colt quit chrome lining the bores of the HBARs sometime in the mid '90s. There is no hard and fast cutoff point as to when this happened, so there will obviously be many exceptions to this "rule".

Does anyone have a pic of what chrome looks like from the muzzle end?

Sorry no pic, but it's easy enough to figure out for yourself. Pull the suppressor if it has one, wipe the edge of the barrel with a cleaning patch soaked w/bore cleaner, and then with a dry patch. If it's chrome lined, you'll see a dull silver ring around the edge of the muzzle, the same color as the ring around the edge of the chamber.
