Brou,
You might want to drop Old Painless an instant message. As I recall, he was discussing using a 16" Colt HBAR carbine at Thunder Ranch. Not sure if the barrels are chrome-lined or not, but he reported 100% reliability with his after firing about 1200 rounds through it during the course. He should be able to tell you what you wanna know. ---Charging Handle |

OK, another question.
Is ANYBODY else making chrome lined, 16" HBAR barrels with a 1/7 twist? And do they offer them as complete uppers in A3 form? |

Brou,
Rock River Arms is now producing chrome-lined barrels as an option. Whether or not they make the exact twist and profile combo you want, I have no idea. It might be worth checking out though. |

Colt does make a 16" HBAR in 1 in 9" twist. It is chrome lined. They use this barrel on their LE "Tactical Carbine" Model 6721. Check with RGuns or SAW.

All of the recent 16" Colt HBARs have been 1:9 twist, but you may be able to find an older (likely used) upper in 1:7. And, that upper will probably be fully chromed. None of the newer HBARS (since about '98) have been fully chromed; only the chambers are.
Not many 1:7 options other than military profile barrels (20" A2 or 14.5" M4). -Troy |

Your best bet is to try Ken at SAWLESALES
They have Colt 6721 uppers with Chrome Lined 1/9 HBARs. Colt's LE/Mil line are all chrome lined chamber and barrel. The Civilian barrels will only have the bore chrome lined. The only Barrels colt is making in 1/7 will be the M4(14.5 and 16") and on a limited basis the 20" Govt profile. Bushmaster offers the same barrel for half the price. |
