[QUOTE="hemiford, post: 2772149, member: 72104"] Benchmark makes 416R stainless and 4140R chrome moly barrels. They stress relieve and heat treat, both metals. My question is, has anyone melonited a Benchmark ? **********edit OK, I talked to Benchmark and they said nitriding their barrels will void the warranty. So this brings up a new question about nitriding versus heat treatment. I know that the president of ARC says emphatically DO NOT nitride his actions because it negatively affects the heat treat. So on my first question, has anyone nitrided ANY manufacturer's heat treated barrel ? Benchmark does offer cryo treatment, so that would seem to be an added benefit, in barrel life that is. [/QUOTE]
