Scorpio64 5,120 Posted April 12, 2015 Can anyone tell me how chrome lined CHF barrels are made? What I'd like to know is if the barrel is chrome lined before or after the CHF process. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MidwestPX 172 Posted April 12, 2015 A mandrel is inserted in the barrel and multiple hammers hit the exterior with great force repetitively. Once complete, the barrel is sent out for plating. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old School 611 Posted April 12, 2015 CHF barrels are extremely tough. But comparing to other methods of manufacture not the most accurate. But enough for most purposes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad G 345 Posted April 12, 2015 I imagine if the plating was applied before hammering, it would be completely destroyed as the steel was bashed into the shape of rifling. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
