Chrome lining is the same type of thing... When fired semi auto, chrome lining doesn't offer more protection than a nitride barrel or extend barrel life. If you fire a lot of full auto cycles, chrome has an advantage. Again, not worth a premium to me.

The US Army Match Training Unit (competition shooters) would disagree with you. They found no significant difference in accuracy between the two types, but a marked difference is barrel life in what's termed across the course (semi-auto) match shooting. This was particularly true in the match nick named the "rattle battle": a 600 yard rapid fire match.
