I want to have a barreled action finished with the black nitride (ferritic nitrocarburizing) treatment, which from what I read involves heating the steel to around 1000 degrees. The barrel has a front sight ramp that was silver soldered/brazed on and I'm wondering whether that will affect the process/finish? I have an email about this into the company that offers the service and am still waiting to hear back. I recall that the Remington 700 bolts are brazed together and I suppose 700s get finished with black nitride at times.
Just wondering whether anyone here has already been down this road already and whether the brazed joint had to be removed and cleaned before treatment or was it unaffected by the process or did the sight ramp (or whatever part) come off the gun? Thanks in advance!
I sent two last week. Should be getting them back next week. I've heard nothing but good about their process. (QPQ)
