[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1068936, member: 24284"] I've had upwards of 60 barrels Melonite/Blk. Nitride treated. Several for myself, the rest for customers. Roughly 2/3 of those are button rifled barrels. I've had no complaints from customers, and I have no issues with those I've had done for myself where accuracy is concerned. The personal barrels I've had treated are both button & cut rifled. As for break-in,,, what you are trying to do is "smooth" the transition where reaming ends and rifling begins. If you're trying to "smooth" out tool marks further into the barrel, find another barrel maker! I've had very good results having barrels treated and believe it is benificial to those barrels chambered in "high intensity, high preformance" rounds. I'm not a hugh fan of having actions & bolts treated. I see no reason to. I've never "worn out" an action,,,,,, I've worn out more than a couple of barrels (I like those small bore, high velocity rds. for varmint hunting). I've used MMI, Controlled Thermal Technologies, and H&M with equal results from all. I send a 'batch' when I have one (a batch is 4-6 barrels). [/QUOTE]
