HK P30 question

**Slater** · 03-03-23, 07:54

From HK's German website, P30 section:

"Low-wear: HK precision barrel made of cold hammer-forged and hard chrome-plated special steel with polygonal profile."

Wasn't aware that the P30 had a chrome-lined barrel. Or maybe the wording is referring to something else?

I'm not seeing a question.

Does the P30 indeed have a chromed bore?

I’ve never observed one stateside that did.

I'll check mine tomorrow, but I don't believe so

I'm beginning to think that whoever wrote that description got rifle barrels mixed up with handgun barrels. Marketing types aren't all technically knowlegeable.

Truth. MAYBE they all of the sudden chrome lined them, but I doubt it. And the HK USA site doesn't say it...
