[QUOTE="deadlift, post: 957171, member: 40021"] Hey Guys here's a quick recap of what I've learned after nitriding nearly 100 chambered barrels and actions over the last 3 years. 1) Some nitriding companies run the solution at the stress re-leaving temp, for our barrels that is 1050F and all you will end up with is a really expensive black barrel. If you are having this done by yourself get the S/R temp and save your self that headache. 2) Once this is done it will cut with carbide, its not fun or recommended but can be done ie, you ding the crown and need it re-cut. 3) We still don't fire anymore rounds down the tube than a final chamber dimension test fire. This works for us and has reduced the # of culls we have had after the process. 4) Any part you don't want permanently bonded together must be separate and marked either SS or CM. And lastly we are using H&M for all a our nitriding We do have our own process for break in/clean up after the fact. Yes I have seen 3 barrels fail after being fired for accuracy then sent out to nirtide. Hope this helps! Chris Benchmark Barrels [/QUOTE]
