As some would say, "Go Chrome or Go Home". Unless you are trying to squeeze as much accuracy out of your AR, read the quote above. Even in saying that, there's other more viable area's that can be upgraded to squeeze out the most accuracy out of your AR. The trigger is the first thing to come to my mind. A chrome lined barrel will last AT LEAST twice as long as a SS barrel and you won't find an easier barrel to clean then a chrome lined barrel. If you really want to make cleaning a snap, run a bore snake with some CLP through the bore a few times before you put your rifle away at the range. When you get around to clean your AR, it will be a snap. |

Armalite, colt, and rra all make chrome lined barrels. I'm not saying a SS barrel is bad, I am stating that the only advantage a SS barrel has is accuracy. All other area's the chrome lined is the king. If I was to build a long range AR, SS would be the only way to go. |
