This video explains the key differences between nitrided and chrome-lined barrels for AR-15 builds. Brownells technician Caleb Savant details how both finishes offer corrosion protection, reduced bore wear, and extended barrel life. Chrome lining is highlighted for its superior heat and friction resistance, making it ideal for full-auto or high-volume semi-auto fire. Nitriding, also known as Melonite or QPQ, is presented as a more cost-effective option due to easier application. The video concludes that the choice depends on the intended use of the firearm, with both providing excellent service.

This video initiates a series focused on AR-15 barrel durability, starting with a baseline accuracy test comparing Melonite (QPQ) and chrome-lined barrels from Faxon Firearms. The barrels are described as "mil-spec" in materials and methodology, button-rifled, and stress-relieved. They were manufactured consecutively from the same batch, with bores visually matched. The chrome lining comes from the same shop that supplies Colt barrels. The series will eventually involve full-auto testing until failure.
