[QUOTE="L.Sherm, post: 1388196, member: 102083"] If I was nitriding a barrel I would do CM. I can tell you for a fact that nitriding affects SS more than CM. I measured the bores on alot of barrels before they went and after. CM for the most part nothing changed SS another matter. Was it the one doing the nitriding that's a possibility I don't know for sure because it was the only one I dealt with. I know the one I dealt with advertised about a well know shooter had his done by them I contacted him and he told me the first one it worked fine second one it ruined he told me he would never have another one done. A friend of his had one done and it shot fine at first but then started coppering horribly. They was pretty sure it was to slick so the roughed up the bore with JB paste as best the could the was fine for about 50 rounds but then started coppering up bad again. I've never had one done I've thought about it but it seems like a crap shoot to have a good shooting barrel to take a chance on. [/QUOTE]
