Ring, Stainless Steels do not respond nearly as well as Low Carbon Steels to nitrocarburizing. You could end up with something less corrosion resistant. Call them and discuss, please.
Just a heads up.

I have, FYI, walt Berger from Berger bullets uses this on his comp rifles...
Also, my rifle was in a "flood".. The only part on it to rust was was the locking ring for the handguard
Another benefit is increased lubraisty in the bore..
More and more in the bench rest crowd are useing this... And these r the guys that if the barrel is shooting in the .4's it's trash..
From looking at this here (3rd to last step) I thought the extension was fitted to the barrel and then drilled through into part of the barrel and then the pin fitted in a manner that "locked" the extension into place.
Regarding the receiver extensions, I have thought that the best thing to do with them would be to give them something like a REM surface treatment and then DLC coat them.

Good. For some stainless alloys there is a reduction in corrosion resistance; not truly sure why (but I could quote reasons; just haven't "processed" it yet).
And to think many find it to be "questionable". I have it from persons within Accuracy International that their barrels are treated as are Sako rifle barrels (at least the TRG-21 & 22).
Nitrocarburizing's day arrived in the Firearm World with Gaston Glock then HK (USP) and when you have military rifles using he process, well, I don't follow the "naysayers".
Oh well. For the record give me a ferritic nitrocarburized chromoly barrel over any and all. Well... a 17-4 PH cold hammer forged and highly polished would be a "monster" of a barrel, too, but they are around $1,000 each - assuming someone would make it for you.

hows this for a curve ball... "Tan" black nitride
.\it was done by these guys

for Chris Cerino from TopShot
it just as corrosion resistant, and the lubricity is the same, the only difference is its softer, rockwell 50 ish....

I'd stick with the standard finish.
