[QUOTE="henschman, post: 1064612, member: 4235"] They say a chrome-lined chamber helps, but I think that mostly comes into play on rifles that see a lot of use between cleanings, like full autos and whatnot. The paint on the case does leave a little residue behind in a hot chamber, but its nothing to worry about as long as you clean your chamber after going through a few hundred rounds. I imagine you would start having extraction problems after shooting 1000 or so if you never cleaned it. I have a few friends who shoot mostly steel stuff out of their ARs with regular, non-chrome lined chambers and bores, and they've never had any reliability problems. Neither did I when I had an AR. Like everybody said, ARs have some of the cheapest spare parts around, so its not really an issue. you save more than enough buying a half case of steel cased ammo to pay for an extractor. [/QUOTE]
