I've always been perplexed that a poster would ask "Where can I find . . " on a internet forum when the internet itself is the answer. I have no problem figuring out what post is the most worthless in a thread when I read that.
Chrome is a milspec standard, and for those who worship at that altar, suggesting that long distance precision rifles always shoot better with a stainless barrel is a truth to be ignored.
There's a 20 page post in TOS explaining accuracy and how to measure it, it's informative that the poster is explaining that ten shot groups are the military standard of determining accuracy, and demonstrates it by shooting milspec ammo from a milspec barrel - with a control rifle using match ammo and a match stainless barrel.
The MOA difference is huge. The effective accuracy is accomplished with the cheaper milspec parts, well enough. Unless you are shooting in competition, highly accurate barrels aren't necessary when shooting Minute of Soldier or at game.
Of course, the marketers and suburbanites will squeal when they hear you can do just as good a job with a cheaper barrel, it upsets their world views of status. They drag out all sorts of special circumstances and circular logic, but it stands nonetheless. Until the last few years, most barrels available on the market were most certainly NOT 1MOA capable, and we all got by just fine.
Ooh, I hear them already
