Are you considering nitriding the barrels or is the expense to high for a disposable item?
Hi,
We are not really considering it at all; not because of price but because Nitriding should not be used as an "aftermarket" thing.
There is just way too much that can go wrong.
Barrel MFG A uses abc alloy and heat treats at xyz temperature.
Barrel MFG B uses hij alloy and heat treats at tuv temperature.
One could nitride with no problem and one could become a "liability" real fast due to nitride temperatures vs heat treatment temperatures.
We have no desire to chase down alloy certs and heat treat certs for every barrel from every manufacturer.
Nitriding should ONLY be done by the manufacturers and nobody can change my mind on that, lol....
Sincerely,
Theis
