I am reading the July issue of American Rifleman in my home office, the bathroom, and came accross the article "The Making of a Match Rifle."(pg 42 cont. pg 65-67) The AR15 is my favorite weapon so I had to read on. On page 66 there is a refrence to crome lined barrel's and the fact that they last longer than stainless steel barrel's. I thought it was the other way arround. Can someone on the know please shed some light on the truthfulness of this claim.
I am also interested in the twist having some effect on the life of the barrel. My understanding is a 1/7 twist barrel's ware out faster than 1/9 to 1/12.
Thanks for the assistance in advance,
