Mild hijack but is anyone running a melonited/black nitrided barrel? It seems to offer all the advantages of chromes durability with a more consistent interior dimensions and finish. Brownell's has a new line of barrels that a tech said are being made by Satern that are black nitrided, reasonably priced ($221) and actually available. http://www.brownells.com/rifle-part...ls/ar15-m16-308ar-barrels-prod56797.aspx

Hunt hard, kill clean, waste nothing and offer no apologies.
