[QUOTE="jbronner13, post: 2780238, member: 123550"] I did some reading into this a while back and decided in custom builds it seems like a good idea to have the barrel and action nitrided to increase longevity. I just sent off two rifles to Wright Armory in Mesa, AZ and the barrels, actions and internals/small parts are all getting nitrided. I am likely going to do the same for 2-3 more rifles I am having built but want to see how these two perform first. I am having them nitride a 416 SS and a 4140 CM. I think if you can get a 4140 CM in the white and have it nitrided it may come out with a matte blue type finish, I will send some pics when I get my stuff back. Everything I read says longer life of service, minimal to no effect on accuracy and easier cleaning. If you talk to James at Northland Shooters Supply, they will nitride criterion pre-fit barrels for you. Wright is no longer offering the DLC quick lube coating for bolts as an FYI. [/QUOTE]
