[QUOTE="Canadian Bushman, post: 1216691, member: 41122"] My problem with it is that nitriding the surface will usually build it up .0001-.0005" per side depending on the process. Ive seen it on both ends, very little to more than i expected. Most barrel makers assure .0003 uniformity in size and .0005 diametrical tolerance. If you get a tight barrel and then nitride it, there is the possibility you could get a really tight barrel. This scares me. The odds of this happening are certainly slim but they are there. Once someone gives me some hard numbers on barrel life it will put the risk/reward into perspective. I just replaced my 29" lilja with a 32" brux and pressured out 200fps slower. Having this barrel treated could of been a problem. [/QUOTE]
