[QUOTE="redneckclimbing, post: 815244, member: 41124"] Has anyone had their bolt / carrier "melonited" (if that is the right term). I was reading about this in the barrels, bullets, etc. forum. Some guys were talking about doing it with their 700's etc., receivers and bolts. I haven't done this to anything myself yet. However, with what I gathered it doesn't add anything to the overall dimensions of the piece. It takes the hardness of any carbon steel (I believe) up to somewhere above 70 Rockwell, and makes it virtually impervious to corrosion, while improving lubricity. Those all sound like pretty good attributes for an AR bolt and carrier to me. What do some of you AR builders out there think? Has anyone actually tried this and how did it work? Thanks [/QUOTE]
