Satern did not supply the chrome lined barrels. The chrome lined AA barrels are manufactured specifically for AA, to their specifications, by a specialty manufacturer. Satern itself builds ONLY cut rifled barrels, generally in stainless.
Cut rifling would be ridiculous in a chrome lined barrel, for obvious reasons, since all the supposed advantages of cut rifling would be negated by the chrome lining after the fact.
AA uses multiple different barrel manufacturers, and at times had used Sabre as one of its chrome lined suppliers, but Sabre was never the ONLY supplier for AA.

You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
