Yes, JP's black QPQ carrier is nitrided.
I think Drifter's barrel is accurate because it's a Lilja and Drifter knows how to shoot an AR15. The nitride process will make cleaning a pinch, and doesn't foul much.
I'm not sure it will make enough of a difference in accuracy to warrant it for that reason alone, although it should extend accuracy life and cut your SD and ES down.
With custom rifle shops that are using top-end barrels, there isn't much of a need to spend the additional time waiting for barrels to be shipped, treated, and installed since they are already turning out 1/4 MOA to 3/8 MOA rifles with very long accuracy life.
