Re: Chrome Lined Barrel?

1. Nice way to throw in the "almost always"comment. So you disagree, but by saying "almost always" you are saying my statement is right "some of the time," which doesn't make me right or wrong 100 percent. And, not true, reducing friction does not Almost always reduce velocity. Reducing too much will or adding too much will. Manufacturers claim it reduces friction, which increases velocity.
2. They may have less accuracy potential, but that doesn't mean they are not as accurate 100 percent of the time. The chrome lining process is much better than you think. Colt isn't the God of the AR market.
3. Here we go with the "almost" comments. My buddy wasn't on the AMU. You weren't there with him and you can't say how much he shot. Yes, the armorer logs for his rifle were available and he said the barrel on his rifle had not been changed. My buddy is squared away or he wouldn't be my buddy. I value his knowledge and like discussions with him as well as members in this forum. Any shooter that gets paid to shoot is a professional marksman, not just the AMU. Look up the definition of professional.
4. That's not what I typed, though I did add incorrect info. The rifles shoot about 1" groups at 50 yards, which is 2" at 100, but we don't shoot them at 100. Yes, MOA is and angle: minute of angle. It is actually more than 1", but is so close, it is not necessary to be that precise. I did provide incorrect info, But I did not say it was 2" at 50 yards. Read it again. I meant to say 1", not 1 MOA. I was writing a little at a time in between work I was doing.
5. Here is an "almost always" comment for you: barrels are almost always consumable. Depends on how much a person shoots. That barrel may last him his whole life. If he
doesn't shoot enough to wear it out in his lifetime, it would technically still be considered consumable because it is capable of being destroyed or damaged.
6. Increasing weight of any object will decrease velocity because gravity will have a greater effect on the object. Look it up. They taught that in elementary school. You are correct about the 64 grain tracer. FYI, it has been my professional experience, as well as the experience of many other professionals, that the 1/9 barrels better stabilize the
55 grain rounds. Even AR Manufacturers recommend 1/9 twist if shooting the 55 grain.
7. I agree with you about the accuracy of the 416 SS. I own several SS barrels and like them, but he isn't building a SBR to shoot long range.
As previously stated, Colt isn't the god of the civilian AR market. They don't even offer a true 100 percent mil-spec rifle for the commercial market. I know your a tool, because you don't have your facts straight about Colt. He listed 3 he was interested in and Colt wasn't one of them. Sorry I had a little extra time to type and provided excessive info. No, I am not wrong and no, I don't have that much to learn keep using your disqualifying statements like "almost always" to assure you are never held to saying something that is incorrect. Why don't you stick to flying your little planes?

1) Ask any reputable barrel maker what affect reducing the friction will have on a bullets velocity.
Those were probably advertisements that you learned that from.
2) I never stated Colt was the God of the AR market.
I just know they do a very good job with their chrome lining.
You just make stuff up and say it.
3) It sounds like a load of B.S., that's all.
4) It's exactly what you typed. (I quoted you)
5) Well, I guess then even ammunition isn't a consumable, if you never shoot it.
"Increasing weight of any object will decrease velocity because gravity will have a greater effect on the object. Look it up. They taught that in elementary school."
6) LOL
You're a physics genius!
