    I don't know.
    I didn't ask the question.

Just Cerakoted the outside and will let the chrome do its job.
    Yeah I asked them if the removed the extension after Grant informed me about the problem.
    WMD said they did not, and it isn't nessecary.

    Does anyone have a list of the companies that actually make nitrided AR barrels?

    I just got a Green Mountain 11.5" barrel and found out the chamber and bore are not chrome lined, maybe they nitride some of their barrels now?

    Ballistic Advantage is one company I know of that makes nitrided barrels. I just got one of them in 5.45x39 (14.5" midlength pencil barrel).

    Something about peak accuracy after that many rounds.
    Barrels (commonly) have burrs in them. So you want shoot them or Polish the inside and then melonite. If you melonite over a burr, you will never get it out and the gun will shoot for crap.

    That's what I figured.
    I was looking to do a certain 410 stainless, 1/8 twist, button rifled barrel.
    But I don't want to remove the extension since I haven't got the experience nor the tooling.

    It certainly seems to have its advantages.

    The burr is often produce when the barrel is chambered after hand lapping.
