I keep reading that chromed barrels are slightly less accurate? How much less in MOA?
I change the orginal barrel out of my G26 with a Storm Lake barrel when I go shoot once a year with my old dept. It seems I shoot a little better with the SL, also it seems to be less recoil, perhaps the SL weights a little more.
1) this thread is in the "Long Guns" subforum
2) Neither your original G26 barrel nor the Storm Lake is chrome-lined
modern manufacturing processes makes getting a chrome lined barrel a waste of money you could buy ammo with.
This is easily the truth. My MSG90A1 does not have a chrome lined barrel. It shoots 1" or less, groups at 200m all day long. I would bet a better shooter could get a tighter group than that.
modern manufacturing processes makes getting a chrome lined barrel a waste of money . . .
A chrome lining reduces accuracy, but it's not certain how much. A chrome lining increases barrel life and seriously inhibits corrosion. On accuracy specific guns, the chrome lining may or may not be worth it. In battle rifles it's not really an issue. It would be desirable to have a chrome lined barrel if you're shooting something that runs on Eastern Bloc surplus.
How so?
No, the MSG90 is completely unrelated to the OP. The OP asked how much a chrome lined barrel effects accuracy and you responded by saying a non-chrome lined barrel is capable of a certain accuracy.
Oh yes, and for the record, short of the oil, you could perform surgery with my firearms on the patient. .
But you probably shouldn't.
