A manufacturer on this forum explained to me that it isn't a good idea to have a completed barrel assembly Melonite treated. He assembles Melonite barrels and extensions in separate steps. He stated that when a barrel and extension are dipped together then the salts get in between the barrel and extension leaving a cruddy buildup which is also corrosive I believe. This can lead to the extension loosening.
I'm not saying that's the case here but I would be leery of companies that offer to Melonite a completed barrel assembly or cheap barrels where the manufacturer has taken these shortcuts.
Also attempting to torque a barrel extension to the original index point isn't an easy task especially without the proper tools. There are some companies that say they can perform the service for you.
Do you even get down innagrass, bro?
