Do you mean a lining that would be an alternative to chrome, or other barrel type alternatives?

For barrels, you have chrome-lined, chrome-moly (the same as chrome-lined without the chrome lining), and stainless steel.

I am unaware of any lining alternatives.

I was looking for alternatives to chrome lining. Someting that offers the protection of chrome, but doesn't affect the accuracy. I've heard about it, but was looking for certain brands or suppliers.

Yes. I believe a ss barrel won't affect accuracy, like chrome lining might.

SS is the best option for accuracy. WASP coatings and Nitrade after that

Chrome-moly only refers to the grade of steel. They are typically unlined barrels unless otherwise noted. They are the 41XX alloys...4130, 4140 etc...

Hard chrome lining is significantly harder.

From what I've been reading, nitride treated is what I was looking for. Some companies have different names for it (WASP, melonite, etc,).
