Noveske Barrels Chromed before Drilling Gas Port

Should have a question mark at the end of the title, but it won’t let me add it. Are barrels drilled for the gas port before they are chromed? If after I would think that they are the choming would flake off? Does everyone do it the same way?

This is a good question to e-mail Noveske about.

Hard chrome in a chamber or barrel is not like bumper chrome. It will not flake off unless it has been improperly applied.

I thought someone here might know. I’ve tried email Noveske with general quesitons about three times in the past, and never gotten an answer, and this was pre 11-4! I really almost think that my spam filer is blocking them. Everytime I call I do get a hold of Sheri though and she has taken care of me.

Sherri is good people.

too good for me, i’m afraid (sigh)

todd at noveske told me a while back that the gas port is drilled after forging the barrel.
