Nitride your barrel

[am4966]

So I've been thinking about this and have looked around and can't find a answer. So I'm asking the Horde.

Let's say you buy a barrel send it immediatly off for Nitride. Do you need to, our is there a barrel break in process? Or do you do your normal break in process?

My normal barrel break in process is to go to the range, fire 20 to 60 rounds, clean the barrel when I get home, and repeat. I wouldn't change it for the world.

Hopefully the barrel is well lapped before being nitrided. Because once it's nitrided.... that's it. You ain't gonna smooth it out with any normal "break-in" attempt. It will be a very HARD bore.
