| I have an chrome/moly barrel and was wondering if this makes any difference when it comes to ammo I shoot through my AR? Also what are the good points to having a chrome barrel and chamber to a chrome moly? |

It doesn't matter what your barrel is made of but does matter the twist rate and the chamber type. Different twist rates are designed for different bullet lenghts (weights), there are mil-spec NATO chambers and tight match chambers. Chrome Moly doesn't rust and isn't a lining that might affect accuracy that last one tenth of one percent. Chrome is a slick and hard surface that allows for easy cleaning and sure functioning and is nomally a lining applied to a barrel and can affect accuracy a very tiny bit. Benchrest shooters use chrome moly, the military uses chrome. |
