[QUOTE="shinbone, post: 3068811, member: 15248"] I have heard from a well-know gunsmith who tried it that nitriding a bore works great, for awhile. However, Rather than a slow decline in accuracy as the throat wears, you get a sudden drop-off because the hardened nitrided steel breaks apart rather than erodes. Meaning, nitriding did not extend the accuracy life of the barrel, but, rather, shortened it. [/QUOTE]
