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

[QUOTE="Loner, post: 576409, member: 24560"] I had a crankshaft built up and nitrided back in the 80's. It was around long before that I am sure. I can't see how it could do anything but improve a barrel. It makes it smoother tougher, more heat resistant and more abrasion resistant. I won't buy the "last longer than chrome lined barrels" claims I've seen made but I wouldn't doubt it would double the throat life on the big over bores. And the claimed higher bullet speeds also make sense to me. [/QUOTE]
