I've been thinking of buying a Springfield Armory M1A "Scout Squad" rifle (the 18" barreled one with the forward optics mount). One thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't come with a chrome-lined barrel (which you do get on the base model). I realize that chrome-lined barrels may give up a tiny amount of accuracy compared to non-chromed (mostly theoretical for most of us I think). I would just prefer the durability and easy cleaning of the chrome bore.
So, does anyone chrome-line the bores of completed rifles? I have no idea of how the process works, but if I could buy whatever rifle (or AR complete upper) I want and then send it to someone to have the bore chrome-lined for, say, $40-$50, I'd probably do it. Does anyone do this? Is it practical?
