[QUOTE="hammertyme, post: 452814, member: 12863"] I have used 17-4 a lot for the main reason it comes close to 28Rock when it arrives in the shop. We made lugs out of it as it saved heat treating. Very tough stuff but saved a lot of time in the end. Weld onto a barrel and away we went. I much prefer the ease these days of the below. Copper does not come off in barrels with this treatment. At least I haven't seen any yet after 6 months of shooting. [SIZE=4][B]Description of Finishes[/B][/SIZE] [COLOR=#cc3300][U]Ferratic Nitride:[/U][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] This is the most advanced firearms finish we offer. Nitride offers exceptional wear resistance, excellent corrosion resistance and a uniform black color. This finish treats both the inside and outside of all parts of the rifle made of ferrous metal. Nitride will offer the benefits of a chrome lined bore without the disadvantages. As this finish is not a plating, but a heat treatment process, it actually changes the surface of the steel and preserves the finish characteristics (lapped finish) of the bore and can not flake off. Nitride will result in a surface hardness of nearly 70 Rockwell C scale, meaning that you can run a file across it and it will not scratch.
