black nitrided and ready for assembly

The black nitrided looks interesting, do you do that in house? or someone else do that work?

How well does it hold up compared to regular bluing?

Are those media blasted prior to treating?

Thanks

All of the black nitride is done by H&M black nitride. The parts are media blasted and cleaned as part of the nitride process. Its worlds apart from bluing. Not only does it harden the material but it also has lubricity so its very wear resistant and slick.
