[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 926737, member: 13833"] I have a BAT action, Krieger barrel, and Muscle break that are all melonited. I am very pleased with the process so far. I don't have enough rounds through it to tell much about throat erosion yet, but here are some things that I can attest to. The barrel cleans up very nicely. I gained about 25'/sec. MV. The surface seems impervious to everyhting and has a nice black matte appearance. The action is SILKY smooth. It is important to match the bare metal finish on the action with the barrel unless you want a contrast, although this is not a big deal unless the barrel has a pretty rough finish. There is no need to chose stainless over chrome moly, IMO, and in fact, the CM is lighter. It is important to REALLY scrub the barrel when you get it back because it will have some stubborn brown crud in it. I used a lot of bore tech and some IOSSO paste. If the barrel life increases as much as advertised, this stuff is a home run!..........Rich [/QUOTE]
