are these chrome lined barrels ?
thanks MIL - DOT, kind of figured but that $599 price point is starting to look good. Plus buying over the net and having it sent to ffl is a hassle in case there's an issue with this rifle. Prices are starting to drop on the good stuff like the arsenals. 17 pages of them on gun broker and nary a bite on any. I'll be waiting for them to drop some more.It doesn't look to me like the O-PAP version isn't offered in a side-folder, just the full-stock version.

...and the wood-stock version says both "new US and original parts", which likely includes a US-made barrel, that may or may not be chrome lined. For a while,there were no US-made chrome barrels at all, but they do exist now, so who knows.
But, Yugo AK's and SKS's have always typically come without chrome barrels. Given this vague degree of replacement parts, I would look for something without the hodge-podge of parts that these apparantly have.
Keep an eye on your local Armslist, good AK's are out there, and prices are coming down.
