F**k China!
If it does prove to be more durable than chrome, and not negatively effect accuracy like chrome lining can, then yes it should become the standard.......
BUT
Government profiles, 203 cuts, 1:7 Twists, and other things just dont go away because its the Mil Spec.
So no I personally dont think it will become mainstream.

There's a patent held by Noveske related to it...

I thought about getting a melonite barrel once because from what I researched the coeficient of friction of melonite is lower than chrome. The result was that the barrel stayed cooler.
I wonder how nitro-carbinate compares in that category.
I would love to see data on barrel temps vs. different coatings to see if that is BS or not. I was not able to find anything real concrete so I did not buy the barrel.
If it scores a Mil contract then I would think so.
Many things that are adopted by the mil are made standard or get one hell of a promotion.
Beretta is still raking in the cash on commercial M9s and 92s. I love them![]()
Sig and H&K have already been doing it
And a "2nd rate" company like CMMG has been doing it for about 5 years now...hmmm.
I have to say I was very pleased with its performance!
