[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 707138, member: 23486"] Your thought process is pretty much in the same line as mine. Cryo treating is just a method of stress relieving & will not effect bbl life. Meloniting has shown on several different rifles to increase barrel life, to what extent i'm still not completely sold on. Originally developed for salt corrosion resistance (stuff in the ocean) it does effectively increase Rockwell hardness to HIGH levels & IIRC some added lubricity as well. My 'smith specifically told me that he would in no way set back or rechamber a barrel that had been nitrided so I didn't go that way.....yet. I have a 7mmSAUM that may just get melonited BUT the downfall being, you get melonite in any color you want as long as it's black..... There is a brown too but it isn't as hard as the black. t [/QUOTE]
