Why is there no coatings used in rifle throats to slow erosion?

[QUOTE="theflyonthewall, post: 575401, member: 35305"] Please don't misunderstand my curiosity as I post this. I'm NOT arguing with you, just tossing out ideas for a healthy discussion...lol.....but: I certainly would think that an application could be precisely controlled throughout the barrel, if that would be of benefit to eliminating the issue you described above. There are some very precise instruments in use in the coating industries and it makes me wonder---if one can set the propellent pressure and control it precisely (which is routinely done), as well as control the feed rate of the material, which is also already done, then why couldn't one design a ball bearing apparatus that would allow a spray tip to move at a constant velocity THROUGH the bore from end to end thus giving an even and predictable film thickness throughout? The way that I'm proposing to do this theoretical coating job wouldn't be such a far departure from how borescopes are used in industries now. One would just have to use a micro-spray tip and a precise setup to center it in the bore. Then, wouldn't it be akin to other highly precise operations that you amazing gunsmiths routinely do? If you have some time to kill, would you mind explaining some of the nuances of Nitride treatment? [/QUOTE]
