I thought Chrome Lining was considered a "must" because it provides much better corrosion resistance in humid or damp climates.
There's a shortage of .30-06 autoloaders. There needs to be a military grade (i.e., reliable and easy to field strip/clean) .30-06 semiauto that has 5 and 10 round box magazines, that can use all loads from the lightweight varmint stuff to the 220 grain elk bullets.
This won't happen because the 30.06 is long obselete as a military cartridge.
See, except I'm not talking about a MILITARY weapon. A military-GRADE autoloader is one that is, you know, RELIABLE. Think Kalashnikov vs., say, a Remington 7400 which is a piece of junk based on a sporting shotgun design.
And I'm not asking for a NEW .30-06 autolaoder design. I mostly want a .30-06 Kalashnikov, or something similar. That is, a "sporting" semiauto that's strong enough to use full power .30-06, but isnt' fragile and unreliable like your typical "sporting" autoloaders from, say, Remington.
