While Italian makers seem to like this option, I've never seen a British gun bearing chrome.
But what's not to like?
Given the first barrel question is usually about minimum wall thicknesses, why wouldn't Brit makers in more recent times (post 1970s) embrace chrome?
It would make lapping of pitted bores a practice of the past. Wet days with older guns....no longer such a worry.
I realize that chrome makes modifying chokes a bit more difficult, but the tools are available.
Just wondering on a Sunday afternoon. Any thoughts?
