My sentiments exactly! Nitride, to me, is still FAR better than a bare bore. Example: nitiride is a good option for those who would like to upgrade an MR556 barrel, since real 416 barrels are unobtanium. It is a legit option for weapons that do not have common availability of parts.

F**k China!
Can you provide a link? My google search only yielded stuff about the location and environmental stuff. As a ChemE, you have my curiosity.
My current thoughts are Cr>nitride for a few reasons, but they are based on theory. I havent talked myself into nitride for barrels yet.

Its my understanding properly made nitrided AR barrels from reputable companies retorque the barrel extension after the process. Or the parts are nitrided separately and then assembled, timed, and torqued to the proper values.
Regardless I believe companies like Ballistic Advantage, Faxon, and Criterion etc. have solved this drawback to the process.

If you read any threads with input from Battlefield Las Vegas, they claim chrome has a longer life than nitride.
Faxon says nitride is normally more durable than chrome BUT at extreme temps chrome is more durable than nitride.
I run a BCM 14.5” pinned pencil barrel, chrome lined. Accuracy wasn’t a top priority for this build, otherwise I’d run a heavier profile nitride barrel. This was bought about 5 years ago when there wasn’t a lot of real world feedback on nitride.
No complaints re:BCM but between the two, I’d choose Faxon.
As for the small arms stuff alot of the links I have from dtic.mil arent working anymore. Maybe they'll get them working soon?

I think this one should work, but it also might kill your eyes.
