Barrel Questions

Why doesn’t POF-USA offer chrome-lined barrels?

Our Barrels are nitride heat-treated to a case hardness of 68 - 70 HRC. Our barrels shoot consistently better groups than chrome-lined barrels. Our Barrels are easier to clean and do not copper foul heavily like chrome-lined barrels. On a traditional chrome lined and phosphate mil-spec barrel, the phosphate will rust if it is not oiled often. Chrome will eventually start to crack and flake as the barrel heats up and cools down, especially at higher round counts, leading to accuracy and head space issues.
