A couple weeks ago I picked up a slightly used (looks new to me) Olympic arms AR. It runs great and seems to have been well worth the $500 I payed for it.
My question is this: How do I tell whether or not it has a chrome lined bore? The barrel is stamped 556 and SS just in front of the front sight base.
I assume that the 556 means it has a 5.56mm chamber as opposed to .223.
Does the SS mean that it has a stainless barrel?
Anyone know?
Olympic's FAQ page looks helpful but it keeps forwarding me back to the FAQ page when I try to look for more info on my barrel. Most irritating.
Thanks.
