Not chrome lined, but melonite (qpq) treated, which is arguably as good in most instances, and better in others. Hard chrome might be slightly better at high rate of fire.
1:7 twist is good for 55gr and up, but prefers higher grain, like 69 and 77gr bullets.
Seems like a good deal. Comments?
Is this chrome-lined?
Also, 1:7 is better for higher grain bullets right?
