[QUOTE="redleg1013, post: 1794699, member: 49994"] Krieger does not recommend nitriding barrels, as the temps get into the range where they can ruin the temper of your barrel and create a dangerous situation. The details are spelled out in the FAQ on their site. I can't speak for their experience, but I would be reluctant to reheat a treated finish for fear of distortion. You do have the option of using Tool Black, which you can get through MSC or Im sure Brownell's will have something similar. [/QUOTE]
