    Why would you hard chrome the barrel?

    Save the seals-club a liberal instead.

    Hello we have been building match 1911 style 45s and contour grinding /turning the front of the barrel with a ball sort of like a S&W model 52. and then honeing the bushing for .003 clearance then having the inside of bushing and last few inches of the outside of barrel hard cromed .002 each . then diamond lapping for .0005 fit Never wears out barrel to bushing fit. Sort of like the BRILEY spherical bushing.This could work on any barrel bushing set up but hard crome inside of barrels does not give as good of accuracy as plain barrel steel.
