[QUOTE="okietom, post: 1836354, member: 18710"] I don't know what nitride treatment Loki uses but I do know that titanium nitride is much harder and more durable than chrome. More expensive too. I worked around chrome plated and Tin ( titanium nitride) plated hard steel rolls in an industrial use for many years. We first started with chrome and then we went to Tin plated over chrome and the life of the roll increased by more than 500%. We used the Tin plating in several other places that we wanted to protect hard steel from wear. Tin's natural color is a gold almost bronze shade. I there was a rifle barrel with that in the bore it would be a BIG plus. [/QUOTE]
