Dusty - I wish this were true; however, with the number of people who either could not or would not afford it, there are a lot of CM barrels out there without a chrome (or anything else for that matter) lining and many of those same people are sitting on and using a horde of Wolf, Tula, etc. ammo that isn't the "preferred solution". Extend that to all of the surplus (WWII or earlier) firearms being snapped up by a desperate public and add in surplus ammo from "god knows where/what storage conditions" and a lot of neophyte "riflemen" need to relearn everything about weapons maintenance that our grandparents took for granted.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)
