Nice. I have that rifles twin in 06. My father bought it new and I still have the owners manual. Yes the barrel is chrome lined. I have others but my main go to rifles for big game are the Higgins in 06 and my re-barreled FN in 35 Whelen. I dont't know why others are having issues with it but I've never had the safety come off unless I released it however I have been carrying cold for years now. Timney triggers in both now as well. Take it for a walk the rifle wants to hunt. Bear
