    I just got my Yugo M70 AK47 and cleaned it up a little.
    Now I know that Yugos dont come with a chrome lined barrel, but when I looked inside the bore to see if its dirty it looked shiny, like stainless steel shiny, I thought if you have non-crome lined barrel it would look dark..is it possible that my barrel came chrome line?

    Just a shot in the dark, because I am not really sure. But I have always looked at the muzzle. You can see the chrome from there on my SKS and the two AR's that I own that are chrome lined.

    I think they replaced those barrels on the Yugos with new Green Mountain Barrels, that are not chromed lined. The old barrels were ate up from corrosive ammo, and from not being cleaned. You could take a Q tip with some blueing on it, and dab in on the muzzle end. If its steel it should stick, and if its chrome it wont, I think.
