[QUOTE="Black Diamond 408, post: 100289, member: 1563"] I have since found out that Powder Coating is being done on barrels. Rifle barrel steel is 4140, tempered to 1100 deg. You must take extra care in plugging the bore and chamber area, Powder coat will seep in the smallest openings. You cant use tape because of the high temp. I have also looked into using the Tialn coatings for my Alum actions, It is sprayed on in some sort of vacuum, may work for a bbl, but an action might not get full coverage, so says the tech staff.
