A simple change in powder type used in the 5.56 and the Defense Department deciding to issue cleaning kits fixed that.Twist rate issues? They went from 1:14 to 1:12 because of stabilization issues in extremely cold weather. Further rifling changes were made because ammo specs from the army changed. The 1:7 was chosen because the M856 tracer round is a lot longer than M855. 1:9 twist stabilizes M855 just fine.Chrome lining seen as a negative? Why would you be against making a barrel have a longer useful life?In what world do you live in where product improvement over said product's life span is a bad thing? A lot has changed since 1959 when the AR-15 first started development. In your honor I shall build another AR-15.</blockquote>
