What is the approximate cost for getting the black nitride finish on a barreled action?
H&M quoted me $250 plus return shipping of about $35.
By the way, are there steel parts that shouldn't be nitrided? H&M says no springs, titanium or aluminum. I'm thinking here of scope ring screws, assembly & pivot pins and tiny setscrews. I want to get all of the visible (and most of the internal) parts treated so it's uniformly the same color and smooth up the action in the process. Seems like there's not much reason to harden scope ring screws with the treatment, but maybe I'm missing something.
