Why would they even make short chambered chrome lined barrels to begin with, if the act of finish chambering will destroy the integrity of the lining...

God it may be simpler to just get a normal barrel and deal with it shooting out faster. Edit to clarify, while i dont intend to abuse it, i intend to shot it alot. WHich is why i am wanting chrome lined. Every rifle my Father in law has, that is not chrome lined, only lasts about 2000 shots before its useless. His Remington 700 in 7mmRem Magnum is testament to that. I want to avoid that situation.
