Why Chrome?

Precision,
Durability When The Round Count Gets High.

Chrome lining is valued in hard-use barrel applications for resistance to heat, wear and corrosion. The manufacturing challenge is maintaining dimensional consistency through the plating process.

The Core Idea

Applying Chrome Is Only Part Of The Equation.

MNKY’s bore and groove dimensions are controlled before plating so the finished chrome-lined barrel maintains the consistency required for accuracy.

Why It Is Used

Three Practical Benefits.

01

Wear Resistance

Chrome improves resistance to erosion in hard-use, high-round-count applications.

02

Heat Resistance

Chrome lining has long been used in demanding barrel applications where heat exposure and repeated firing are part of the operating environment.

03

Corrosion Resistance

A chrome-lined bore and chamber provide an additional layer of protection against corrosion.

Durability Without Ignoring Dimensional Consistency.

Chrome is only part of one complete manufacturing process rather than a coating added at the end without regard to bore dimensions.

Bore and groove dimensions are carefully controlled prior to plating so the finished chrome-lined barrel maintains the consistency required for accuracy.

In-house testing showed accuracy held over 20,000 rounds.
