Ask yourself this question: Are any of my other guns (rifles, shotguns, pistols) chrome lined?
Weird, the FN SPR rifles have chrome-lined barrels and they come with an out of the box MOA guarantee. How could a company guarantee the accuracy to be equal or better than most, if not all, precision rifles in the industry on their chrome-lined barrel if chrome-lined wasn't as accurate?
Just food for thought.... I don't have an FN SPR so I can't really say much for actual accuracy, but from what I've heard they're spectacular shooters.
Hundreds of cases? Are we assuming that a case = 1,000 rounds like most normal cases?Most people will not wear out a non chromed barrel. You would have to shoot hundreds of cases of ammo to do so. The biggest reason for the chrome lined was easier to clean and yes...it does decrease accuracy.
