Seems that chrome lined barrels are phosphate covered, not as corrosion proof as SBN (aka Melonite, QPQ, I'm sure I'm missing some). Chrome is supposed to be better for longevity. Curious if, and I know it'd add cost, be possible to both salt bath nitride at least the exterior of a barrel so it'd have superior corrosion resistance, but have the bore and chamber chrome lined so as to be the longest lasting?
Happy New Years!
