CHF barrels are decent, but will never out-shoot a high caliber stainless barrel, IMO, whether it's a bolt gun or an AR........don't know if your Armalite is a staniless barrel or not & that's not the point anyway.

There's a reason SS is the overwhelming choice for competitive shooting.

Nitriding won't make any barrel more accurate; the question is really, does it negatively impact a really high end barrel's accuracy, & I don't know the definitive answer to that.
