The barrels aren't melonite treated, they're case hardened to around 70 RC.


So you're saying that Melonite is not a salt bath ferritic nitriding process that hardens steel on the surface to 70 RC?

FWIW, I'll recant my statement. POF does not use Melonite(TM), their barrels are treated via a liquid ferritic nitrocarburizing process.

Scroll to processes, educate thyself.
