"Perfect Practice Makes Perfect"
"There are 550 million firearms on this planet. That's one firearm for every 12 people. The question is... How do we arm the other 11?" Lord of War.
"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." Thomas Jefferson
Nitride, when done to carbon steels, results in very corrosion resistant as well as very hard, durable surfaces. IMHO, stainless steels are a poorer choice for salt bath nitriding processes because the different elements in the stainless alloys result in reduced corrosion resistance, as well as lower heat resistance that's inherent in the underlying steel. Nitrided stainless means more expense for a poorer performing product. Why bother to nitride stainless when CM/CMV steels are less expensive, stronger, more resistant to heat, last longer, and more corrosion resistant after nitride.
I run an AR Performance .223 Wylde barrel on one of my guns. I really like it and at $210 it's a pretty good deal.
However, I wouldn't shy away from the Sionics barrels either.

ARP? They use standard 1/2-28 for muzzle threads on the 16'' like everyone else:

Wait What? There are companies making .223 caliber barrels with 5/8-20 thread pitch?
