Is there a visual way to look at a bore or chamber and know if it's chromed versus unchromed?

if the bore is chrome lined, it'll look "white", like chrome.  Basically looks like the inside is chrome plated (but not necessarily shiney). AR15s generally have a matte chrome look, where as some other rifles such as the SKS have a polished look.

Usually it's pretty easy to tell, since chrome is distinquishly whiter than "in-the-white" steel.
