Looking for chrome-lined 7.62x39 NR

Well sir, what if I told you that I did do some research. I went to Wikipedia and it described it as a light machine gun with a top fed clip. Are there actual SAs floating around Canada that are NR? I've never run into one.

And I hardly consider that pissing on someone. Maybe I should've used an emoticon, sorry your weekend sucked. :(

You must have been in the wrong article then, so how about not making factually false comments to members providing you with good advice. I don't want to sound like I'm bashing you, but you were incorrect.

Wikipedia said:
The vz. 52 rifle (often incorrectly called the "CZ 52") is a self-loading rifle developed shortly after the Second World War in Czechoslovakia. Its full name is 7,62mm Samonabíjecí puška vzor 52.[1] vz. 52 is an abbreviation for vzor 52, meaning "model 52". It fires the unique 7.62×45mm vz. 52 cartridge. . It is considered both reliable and accurate, although it is longer and heavier than later assault rifles such as the vz. 58.

Conversion

After pressure from the Soviet Union to adopt its 7.62×39mm M43 cartridge, existing Czech rifles were rechambered to the Soviet caliber, and all further production of the rifle was chambered in this caliber and re-designated the vz. 52/57. The vz. 52/57 is identical except for its barrel and its magazines. It is considered less reliable and accurate than the original vz. 52 rifle,[citation needed] on the other hand the vz. 52/57 has chromium-plated bore and chamber. The vz. 52 magazines can be used with the vz. 52/57, but they do not feed reliably.

Yup, fixed it for the OP. But seriously now, back to the topic. Apart from being a little more resistant to corrosion, what's the reason you want a chrome lined barrel specifically?
 
OP - I had thought there were chrome lined VZ58L floating around, but I may be mistaken. These are NR as well.

Marstar brought in one shipment and that was it.....one of the first non restricted VZ's available but no longer.

I'm sure most people would take a chrome over non chrome 7.62X39 because of the corrosive ammo but in reality they all need to be cleaned.

Yeah, that's what I thought...my rear bumper can attest to the corrosive nature of water + salt :D
 
Wasn't there a company here in Canada that had a service that chromed barrels, mostly on NR 858's?Rauch Tactical maybe?Can't remember who for sure, but pretty sure someone was doing it.

Wasn't chroming but nitro carburizing(tenifer process). I had my cz858 done. treatment was cheap at $119 and its a nice black mate finish corrosion resistant. I left my 858 fews weeks without cleaning just to see and no corrosion problems at all. Since that i cleaned the rifle because i like too and i dont like neglected firearm.

^^^Not chrome lining. They (Rausch) offered a version of nitro-carburizing (?spelling?) the insides of barrels.

I'd much prefer chrome myself, but I suppose any coating is better than none at all.
NC will actually hold up better than chrome. It is not a coated, but a hardening/conversion process, so nothing to peel off.
 
If anyone is interested, please email us directly.

The guns will need to be sent to us stripped and ready to process. The price will be very low as a result.

No offense, because I would love it if you did this, but I am not going to have the finish stripped off my gun if you aren't sure yet.

if there is demand we can do it.

I'll email you though and start a line up.

I plan to run corrosive surplus through it. Also, cleaning and extraction is much better. Increased barrel life is a plus for me too. If the CZ 858 is made of surplus parts with a NM barrel, is the surplus gas system chrome-lined as well?
 
Nevermind... forgot the NR part. I got distracted by the bickering.
