Question: are yugo sks barrels chrome lined?
Answer: Nor are the barrels on M1, M1A, M14, and many other non-military semi automatic rifles. The majority of non-semiautomatic rifle made also do not use chrome lined barrels. I understand the value in chrome lining, but it isn't the be all end all. The Yugo M59 and M59/66 SKS have high quality hammer forged barrels.
