Anybody know if colt match target barrels are chrome lined bore and chamber?

Colt HBARs have chrome line chambers, but not bores.

There always exceptions, but as a general rule anything with a 1/7 twist will have a chrome bore and chamber, especially if it also has a govt. profile like an M4 or A2. Anything with a 1/9 twist will have a chrome chamber but not a chrome bore.

ETA that this only applies to Colt barrels.

I'm sorry to say I have a Match Target, Target model , 20 inch bbl, 1:7 Govt profile, chrome chamber, NO chrome bore(1999). It must have been a bad hair day in Hartford.

Nope, it's cost cutting on the civvy line. It's one of many changes they made at the time to save money.

And I thought it was because it was suposed to be a Match barrel and non chromed barrels are supposed to be more accurate.
