The Rifle maker uses Defiance actions almost exclusively,

When we were talking about the build I asked about Black Nitride,

He said they are about to move away from BN, doesn’t seem to last according to them….

I’ve never had a action or rifle with BN so take it for what it’s worth.

Me, I’ll be going with plain ole Stainless , Action and barrel,

I rolled the dice on a previous build with a different coating, No interest to do it again.


You guys with a BN action or barrel, and it’s worked for you,,,, feel free to call me crazy.

I thought BN was impregnated in the metal and was not a surface coating? If so, I wonder what they mean by lasting?
