I've used most of the above and just about all of them have their place. I have gone to using black nitride most often for two reasons:
-it adds little to no dimension to the components so it does not alter barrel timing or bedding.
-it protects the inside of the bore ⬆️ what he said, in spades. The nitride on CZ rifles is both attractive and tough. Same goes for the version on S&W pistols, which is over SS for a double whammy against bad things. Since it goes into the metal, even if it starts to wear (which hasn’t happened on any of mine yet), the protection and lubricity remain, or so “they” say. I wish more makers would go to it instead of the crappy black bluing they use and save us the expense and trouble. +2 Not a coating. It's a surface hardening. It's extremely tough. Drilling/machining after the fact is very hard on tooling.

I had one that it ruined, the others are fine. I got one batch back and they did nothing to clean the salts out.

Has anyone used K-Kote to finish the metal on a gun?

Who are you guys using for nitriding? Just the action or barreled action? New or broken in barrels?

I have a 358 I had powdercoated. I love it. It's warmer to carry in cold weather as well.
