Ok, so we all know about the standard barrel lining, hard chrome. But what do we know about the rest?
Oly claims something called "Maxhard" is the cat's ass.
www.olyarms.com/maxhard.html All Maxhard® barrels will produce an extremely hard metal that will be smoother, causing no fouling. You will be able to wipe your bore clean with one patch through. All barrels will also dissipate heat so rapidly, you will never have to worry about heat damaging the bore, even full auto!

I'm not sure how it related to their
Black-Tac product which seems to have similar properties.
Troy Industries previously claimed to use a "Nickel Boron" lining in their CQB rifle, but has since changed to a mil-spec chrome-lining. I hadn't realized this until I went to go write this, but it's worth noting anyway.
The heart of the system is our Proprietary 10" and 15" long medium weight match grade barrels with Nickel Boron lining. It features a smooth taper from beginning to end with no steps for uniform heat dispersion and unparalleled accuracy.

J&T Distributing is coming out with a new lining they're calling "Carbonite" and is supposedly better than chrome-lining.
So what do you guys think? Is chrome on the way out? Or will these new products come up short? Anybody have any first hand experience with any of this or any more info to add?
