Here's a stupid question...but how can I tell if my Colt barrel is chrome lined? I have a phantom flash suppressor so I can't look at the muzzle. I shined a flashlight in the chamber and I see a lighter circle around the opening. Is this indicative of a chrome lined barrel? I checked the Colt website, but they don't note if their barrels are chrome lined or not.

Barrel= 16" HBar 1:9 twist. (I bought it new off of gunbroker.com)

Thanks,

Does your light reflect off of it like it would off of the bumper of a 57' Chevy?

JK

If it is a Colt, it should be, it should also be marked on the barrel with something like a C 5.56

Dave,
Yep, or at least I think it shines. It does have the C 5.56 Nato markings on it, but I thought the C was for Colt since all the other parts (upper, bolt carrier, and bolt) are marked with a C. I "think" it is chromed too, but just wanted to confirm it. Oh, and if ever you run for POTUS...I'll vote for ya!

keep the faith!

yes, it is chrome lined.

thank you, thank you.
