[QUOTE="KH_Outdoors, post: 3070131, member: 123559"] Good thread guys! I've considered having a 375 or 338 cal barrel sent for Nitride to be used in Coastal Alaska. My 45 cal Smokeless Muzzy from Arrowhead Rifles has an all steel spiral fluted Nitrided barrel on it. Luke recommended that because the intent was to use BH209 as a NM legal gun at the time. From my brief experience it did what it was intended after a couple years and few hundred shots. Zero corrosion from the BH209 to date. My previous Muzzy's, not so much. They all have pitting in the rifling. So functionality wise, I believe it can only help corrosion resistance. Hence my thoughts about having a barrel Nitrided for use in Coastal Alaska. Mind you that purpose is the literal opposite of precision shooting, competitive shooting, or high volume shooting. So take that for what it's worth. [/QUOTE]
