Put it this way, your gun probably will still be more accurate than you are, chromed or not. Make your life easier and go with chrome.

Anyone have any knowledge as to the best/highest quality/most accurate chrome lined barrel maker?

I imagine all of the chrome lined barrels come from Wilson or Shaw regardless of who's name is on them. FN might be the exception as they claim to make their own.
I've had chrome lined barrels marked Bushmaster and RRA and both are very high quality. |

Bushmaster makes their own barrels as does Colt. |

I have a friend who cuts barrels for Oly said they cut barrels for Bushmaster. Maybe this is normal, maybe they just cut the stainless barrels, maybe they were taking up slack, I don't know. |

The only input I have on accuracy is that both my Bushmaster and Colt M4 type carbines I use at work shoot identical groups at 50 yards with an Aimpoint.. This is of limited use to me due to the range and optic.

Yes. Jarrod even posted the process Bushmaster uses to build there barrels a couple of years ago. This was for the Chrome lined barrels My bother's barrels were hand selected off the assembly line by one of the R&D guys that worked there (before he retired 3 years ago).
Oly used to sell Bushmaster barrels many years ago (when Bushy was a small operation). I do not know the status of the stainless barrels as Bushmasters was not selling those when Jarrod talked about Bushy manufacturing their own barrels. |
