Does anyone know if the albanian sks has a chrome lined barrel? And is there a benefit, someone told me the yugo's didn't have a chrome lined barrel and seemed to think this was a bad thing. |

The advantage is that you get less corrosion,an important factor as almost all the ammo is slightly corrosive and berdan primed which is why I think you'll find ALL sks 's will be chrome bored.This is easy to check if you own a bore light.If it's REALLY shiny compared to what you are used to with surplus arms ,it's chromed! |

For what it's worth, there is a simple test to determine whether your gun has a chrome-lined bore: Put a drop of cold blue on the bore metal. A chrome-lined bore won't take the bluing, but a carbon steel bore will.

It seems that neither albanian sks or yugo have chrome lined bores. The latest issue of gun tests reviews both. |

Good to know,I've had one or maybe two russian,and three chinese,they were all good, all chrome bores for quality,I'd give the nod to the Russians,but only just by a little. |

The Yugo is the only one without a chrome lined barrel due to lack of resources in that area. Zvtxguy is incorrect about the Albanian, which does in fact have a chrome lined barrel.
