Is there any way i can figure from the markings ( B MP 5.56 NATO 1/9) if this barrel is chrome lined? Its on a buddys rifle he is selling, he dont know and i cant "see it" as its out of state etc. Thanks for any/all help. |
B= Bushmaster MP= Metal Partical Tested Generally speaking .........Chrome Bore would be stamped "CB" or "CHROMED BORE" Chromed Chamber would be stamped "C" Marufacturer stamps are defined here: www.biggerhammer.net Click on "AR15/M16 FAQ" then on "Barrel and Bolt FAQ" How accurate this site is I can not say. |
| Bear in mind that Bushmaster didn't have chrome-lined barrels all of the time. I forget when but it I THINK it was in 1996(?) that they made it as standard, up until that point Bushmaster had either a regular carbon steel barrel or for $50 a chrome-lined barrel an extra cost option. I would contact Bushmaster and find out the particulars. |
Bushmaster deos not use C or CB markings. They are ALL chrome lined unless they are the match barrels which that is not. |
once said, GO CHROME OR GO HOME!
