As completely new innovations seem to be lacking, coating rifle components is the newest addition. It won't make up for poor maintenance, but might make the time to failure last a little longer. Last I saw, a Spikes Melonite coated gas tube cost damn near the same as a standard Stainless one. If I was doing a new build, I'd use it in a heartbeat.
