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

[QUOTE="theflyonthewall, post: 584725, member: 35305"] No one is trying to change the laws of physics. Matter of fact, we're trying to do the opposite......finding a way to better adapt TO the physics that we know to exist. If you read through the thread from the beginning, you'll see that this thread has been through a few changes. My original question was "why are there no coatings...." Then I was enlightened to the fact that there ARE surface treatments that are working to accomplish the same goal with generally positive feedback already established. So then the thread took a turn towards the potential to make a throat replaceable. And it is now moving in the direction of "if we can make a replaceable throat, can we coat a replaceable throat and see what life we get out of it." So this thread especially is one that if a person just pops in without having read the entire thread, then they will likely not know where we're going. No one is trying to re-invent the wheel here, just to build a better mousetrap....or in this case, a better elk-trap, if you will.:D [/QUOTE]
