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

[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 584799, member: 4191"] [B]shortgrass[/B] is emphasizing cost competitiveness. Which pretty much eliminates everything compared to Melonite treatment - which is simply dipping the barrel into a hot bath solution under controlled conditions for the correct period of time. Any kind of machining and threading within the throat area is going to be labor intensive if accuracy is going to be preserved. Labor intensive is spelled $$$ unless it's farmed out to China or an equivalent work force environment. And will make the cost of re-barreling look quite attractive in comparison. Not to be the bottleneck in the dialog though... [/QUOTE]
