[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 2776446, member: 24284"] I have had many barrels and a few actions melonite/black nitride treated for at least 10yrs. It is well worth it for the known "barrel burners". For 1 at a time treatment, the cost is high. Having a 'batch' of barrels treated is the only economical way to go. Barrels need to be new, fired only a couple of rounds to examine fired brass. They need to be perfectly clean before shipping for treatment. Any 'fire cracking' is a no-no. And a thing to remember, the facilities that do this work are heat treaters, not gunsmiths. With the commercial shippers (UPS and fedEx) having new shipping rules for firearms and parts, the only option is the USPS unless you have a 'firearms account' with UPS or FedEx. I have some clients insist on treatment, others who don't. It definitely increases accurate round count substantially. [/QUOTE]
