[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1206580, member: 24284"] Rifle barrels are made of "heat treated" steel to begin with. Chrome moly or stainless steel, both are "hardened and tempered". The nitride treatment about doubles the surface hardness, so a brass brush won't hurt it and is recommended if you want results. A nitrided barrel can no longer be cut with high speed steel tooling, like most chambering reamers are made of, so brass won't hurt it. That hot, soapy water is probably the best to start with.
