Chrome lined barrel vs non

[ou719]

Which do you prefer, chrome lined barrel vs non, Fulton armored has both for the Garand and say it don't affect tolerances like others. thoughts

You can't finish ream a chrome barrel so the headspace is what it is. You have to start swapping out bolts and try to get lucky. Non-chrome is more accurate, but chrome cleans easier so given the choice I would go non-chrome. Also, M14 NM Sak barrels were not chrome lined and are considered the best.

I don't like lapping bolts/receivers, either should you ou719. I will always go non chrome lined.

That is probably me. I think I list barrels for $175, when they're in stock.

If Tim doesn't have them,the CMP e-store sells Criterion's at $179 ish,but You'll have to want quite a while.

I ordered a Criterion from the CMP on the 16th of February, no word yet.

I got two Criterion full length .308 barrels from Dean's Restorations for $186 plus s/h. Unfortunately, I just checked his website and he is out of stock again. Watch his website, he will usually post an availability date a week or two before he actually receives them from factory.
