Why is there no coatings used in rifle throats to slow erosion?

[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 575412, member: 3733"] Well if your trying to coat the entire bore and chamber after cutting, than yes the operation could be much more feasable. Similar to the chrome linning in many military barrels. And I do prefer my AR barrels crome lined over a SS barrel. way less to no fouling and way less cleaning required. I recall in the last 12 months a video report on a coating /treatment that was being tested in full auto ARs that was working really well. But I don't remember if that was an applied coating or the Nitriding process. Which in easy terms is a type of salt bath applied with heat ( in the 900 degree range) That hardens the surface of the steel to somthing like 60+ Rockwell. [/QUOTE]
