[QUOTE="P7M13, post: 2023876, member: 94154"] you don't want to nitride a blank. Makes it too hard on tooling. Personally, I'd recommend doing so after "breaking in" since some barrels shoot better after 50-150 rounds down the pipe. But, if it's a shouldered barrel, you'll have to head space again, just as you would on a Savage/Remage type. Plasma nitriding doesn't change the part dimensionally at all, and it is done at lower temperature (~100°C less) than Nitride Salt Bath. I am concerned about potential warpage at those temperatures.
