[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 1947807, member: 113501"] I think chrome lining would be the move, that does increase barrel life a lot. It's not so great for accuracy usually. Hammer forging doesn't seem like it would do anything particularly good for barrel life. Some times the residual stress from the forming process makes them string as they heat up, I don't want to take a chance on that either. Nitride seems like the best avenue to explore. It doesn't build up a surface like chrome and the temperature of a nitriding treatment is high enough to act as a secondary stress relief or tempering so it might make a barrel string less. On the other hand, people have tried nitride on accurate rifles and had mixed results. I'm sure something out there could be better. I'm not sure if we will ever see it. [/QUOTE]
