I think a chrome lined barrel is good for military use only. There were times that I did mag dumps in Kuwait and the barrel could fry eggs! But, I just kept lock and loading without a fail. Of course, it was a COLT M16A2 rifle, need I say any more?
S&W lines their barrels with the ARMORNITE coating (which is the same as Nitride, Melonite, etc.). Well, that's what I was told when I was doing AR research a few months ago. That, IMHO, is all the every day civilian AR owner needs. Leave the chrome lined barrels on the battle field.
