Just look at it. If it's chromed then you'll see the silvery/white chrome around the muzzle and/or breach.
Edited to add that you need to learn a little patience. You allowed barely two hours on a sunday when most of the country is watching football and/or having dinner. |

Fire the rifle to prep the bore and leave it out in the rain for a couple of days. If it doesn't rust it's chromed. [:D]
All kidding aside it can be difficult to tell if the rifle has been shot to any extent. What brand barrel is it? |

Best advise on "breaking in" barrel. Forget you ever heard the term. It's total BS. Take the thing out and shoot it. Lay off extended rapid fire for a couple of hundred rounds, then do as you please.
The breaking in thing is a scam put out by the manufacturers, because they don't properly inspect and test fire their ARs, and they're scared something will break in the first few hundred rounds. That's what "breaking" in is all about, as far as I can tell. Winchester and Remington don't tell you that you have to break in a barrel. The AR makers shouldn't either[;D] |

With a clean barrel (no soot), you can usually see excess chrome lining as it "roll over" the crown.

Quoted: Thanks for the advice,i'll do just that.(noticed you from GA,i just got back from Alpharetta) Yeah, lived in the metro Atlanta area for over 30 years, but finally got out a few months ago. Went up to northwest part of the state (Rome area) where the air is clean, the deer are plentiful, and the local Walmart still sells rifles [:D] |
