    If it don't play nice with chrome, how does that affect the inside of a bolt carrier?
    My brother saw Deliverance and bought a Bow. I saw Deliverance and bought an AR-15.

    I have had Bolts and BCG done with out issues. I do believe its an excellent finish. Thye hard chrome that was removed or nitrided over has not been an issue at all. I would not do a chrome lined barrel at all. It has to effect accuracy if the chrome is removed and nitrided because in most all cases the chrome is thicker than Melonite.

    I have also had numerous pistols done with great results.

    Two precision Rock Creek rifle barrels as well. One 308 and one .22cal. The finish is awsome and wears like no other. I clean my stick now about every 500 rounds and after Im done I ask my self why? Guess I just feel quilty because I was told that you have to always clean your rifle. Patches come out super clean!

    Have a few stainless AR barrels heading that way as well.

    So called "TAN" still needs to be tested more as a lot about its characteristics are curently unknown.

    Its a great finish with many benifits.
