Gentlemens:

I know that the monoblock is not the traditional construction method, but from a purely mechanical stand point it makes good sense and has to be less expensive to manufacture. All things considered I believe the gun would be the better for it. As for the join one option would be to laser weld it. The HAZ (heat affected zone) is so small with this process that there would be no significant effect on the metallurgy, or the solder that holds the tubes in the block. The joint would simply disappear after striking and polishing.

Besides, Mr. Hurst hates engraving barrels...

I have no opinion either way with the chrome. It would take away the option of custom chokes and chambers.
