[QUOTE="lowdowndirtybugger, post: 1048278, member: 88303"] Not true Rock Creek stresses unfired barrels. If you send in a fired barrel it will likely result in a 70+ dollar cleaning bill and void the warranty on the work. The reason is that copper reacts differently than steel in the salt bath processes. If even the tiniest amount is left behind it will result in rust pitting. A quality hand lead lapped barrel is what is needed before nitriding. Nothing more. [/QUOTE]
