[QUOTE="Rockfish Dave, post: 1111797, member: 14257"] Had all of mine done. Zero issues with accuracy when comparing before vs. after. Cleaning is noticeably easier. By doing batches, I cut the cost down a little. It adds around 7% to the total cost of the barrel (depending on the options such as fluting, gain twist rifling, and what not since those add to the cost). It will not take much of an increase in useful life to break even. I had noticed a lack of copper fouling in the barrels. I'm not sure if it is because I broke my barrels in before hand or not, but I didn't get any noticeable copper traces when doing a deep clean. For the ease of maintenance, corrosion resistance, and super tough black mat finish (it can be worn off, for example glock slides are treated and those can wear off with repeated holstering. The case hardness remains though.) it seems worth while to me. I had never worn out one of my treated barrels so I cannot testify as to actual increase in life or not. Now most of my stuff is sold off, but if I were to do it all over again, I'd do it again for what it's worth. [/QUOTE]
