[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 674569, member: 30902"] Eh long night HA! That was my concern as well but I've had several people tell me that after treatment they are actually even better for machining and that anyone with the tools to work stainless will have no problem with the melonite treated bbls. Being as it's the internet and a fairly new process you can find all sorts of pro/con info out there. PS. One of those who did tell me that they actually machine better afterwards is a custom gun builder and very close friend I have a great deal of respect for and faith in so till proven otherwise that's the way I'm going. He's also the one who suggested doing the entired barreled action fully assembled so that the stress relief wouild be completely even throughout and since he was an aeronautical engineer in his previous life I'm going with it.
