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

[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 584813, member: 2736"] I agree that our human need to "push things" (oftentimes past the practical limits) is what has led us to where we are. Good point. It seems as though the military has actually spent a great deal of time and money on this very concept. Do you feel that their needs and our needs are different enough that some of the coatings that they've found less than suitable might actually be beneficial to us? What I mean by that is----they're going to need coatings that can stand up to rapid-fire/sustained fire scenarios where they'll be generating a case for much quicker erosion. Has the TYPE of firing had any bearing on their experiments? I don't know. Do you?<---that's NOT said in sarcasm...lol. If not......maybe that's something that I should research more? Again, thank you for taking time out of your day to lends us your perspective. It's really appreciated.[/QUOTE] The milatary has different needs than we do so there are systams that work better for them (Like the chrome lined barrels that make the battrls last longer and need less maintance) Accuracy is important to them but the main objective is dependability under battle conditions. The Melonite/Nitride process may not improve barrel life enough for them to use it or under extreeme heat it may break down or just not last (I am not privy to this info). With all the money that they can spend on R&D maby they will come up with something that will not only improve barrel life but inhance accuracy. Everyone remimbers the Molly Craze and the hype said "Faster and better barrel life" Where is it at now. (I fell for it to). Interestingly enough I did find a great use for it but not what it was intended for. In a black powder barrel It improved the number of shots that could be fired without cleaning by redeucing the powder fouling. also on copper bullets it redeuced barrel fouling. There was a down side to it though as with many things that are supposed to end all problems. Longe range hunting comes with it's own set of probablems and for now we just have to live with them until someone comes up with a "Better Mouse trap" . J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
