I'm really tired so am just going to copy/paste from the thread about this I setup on Surplus rifles
O/K Folks what ya are about to see isn't pretty so maybe ya should leave the room and have your 5 year old describe the pictures to ya to reduce your exposure........
A lil back ground, what ya are about to see is a brand new Romanian G kit barrel....... yes Chrome lined bore etc... this barrel came out of a customers AK which I built 6 months ago, it was a pristine unissued kit built on an NDS-1 reciever well he got busted by the Pima county Sheriffs dept the very first time he took it out shooting...... a grand total of 5 Boxes of Wolf black box fired through it and it was confiscated he was cited for discharging a firearm within 1/4 mile of a road etc... well...... it was his own private road but thats neither here nor there it took him 4 months to get his brand new rifle back and to clear his name, it has sat in a plastic evidence bag for 4 months, was never cleaned as obviously the cops got no reason to clean your gun......... here is the barrel, the gas piston the slant break (which I had to heat with a torch and twist off with a pipe wrench) and next to it is the "fix" a brand new hammer forged NON- CHROME LINED Yugo barrel......
Ya know it aggravates the hell outa me when someone who has owned an AK for a week or two will try to argue with me about chrome lined bores versus non-chrome lined bores or corrosive ammo versus NON-corrosive ammo when I've not been doin this for a week not a year not even 5 years I have been dealing with nothing but military weapons and ammo for 34 years! When I tell ya that chrome lining has NOTHING to do with corrosion prevention and everything to do with allowing a full auto machine gun barrel to last longer by generating less heat via friction then ya know what........ I'm not saying it cause I love typeing so much or because I listen to the marketing BS dealers will try to push onto consumers I'm saying it cause I've been dealin with these things my entire life.......
A chrome lined barrel means absolutally nothing in a semi auto rifle, it doesn't mean your safe if ya don't clean your rifle it dorsn't mean your protected from corrosive ammo etc... it means that if ya can make your AK fire 600 rounds in one minute the chances are the bore will hold up better than a non chrome lined bore due to less friction....... thats it....
As I've told people a thousand times at least DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT IS WRITTEN ON THE AMMO BOX!!! The Europeans really could care less about what primers they use in your cheap ammo, they are going to use whatever primers they get the best deal on........ the box will ALWAYS say NON CORROSIVE and if ya trust that then look at the pics above cause thats what your destined to end up with...... if it is a MILITARY CALIBER ya need to clean as if for corrosive regardless what ammo ya put in it.......
Excuse Typos etc.. please I'm barely keepin my eyes open right now
the parent thread can be found here, there are some more pics in it, as well as a reply to someone who thought maybe the cops tampred with this one gun outa a few hundred in their evidence room simply to make it rust etc... please excuse if the writing seems irritated........ I am....... its been onea them days ya just wish ya'd stayed in bed
