CVA Accura MR Nitride

Saw this clip earlier during the Shot Show.....so what do you think..is this Nitride technology just 'smoking mirrors' or is there something to it ?

The technique used to treat the barrels is known as Salt Bath Nitride. Already used in military applications, the nitride process hardens the outer layer of the steel, making it more durable and more corrosion resistant than even chrome lining—which was previously the highest standard in bore toughening techniques. Unlike the exterior ceramic coatings, the nitride process protects the outside and the inside of the barrel, and it will not shoot out even with thousands of shots.

With muzzleloaders often being particularly susceptible to corrosion, CVA's application of the nitride technology is meant to reinforce the quality of the company's popular high-end line.

The mr ml had initial problems with barrels and receivers coating coming off so they introduced this new process to compete with weather shield. Just prefer a stainless steel barrel. A lot of pissed of mr owners and the fact they had to replace guns is the reason for this new process. http://www.modernmuzzleloader.com/fo...24640&p=187263

From what I can find on the net it seems like a good process and is being used a lot in the AR world. Is it really required? I don't know. Millions of firearms have done just fine without it.

HA

The 100 ft per second faster is interesting though.

yea my interest perked up at that too....so the barrel will probably see less wear too. Wonder if it aids in reducing crud build up ?

I'm sure I can't hurt.

First let me put my post from a different site:
http://www.modernmuzzleloader.com/fo...24964&start=25

Look at my first post from May 28th (First gun with pictures).

Then look at my post on the next page (Second gun, Replacement gun with pictures).

The replacement gun was worse than the first. And this is their NEW and IMPROVED flagship product...


PS The bergara barrels are beautifully made and finished, the problem is you have to hook them onto a piece of JUNK.

Cva optima I have is fine and was the best 300 bucks I spent. They cva accura v2 is a nice smoke pole.

Im thinking about getting into Muzzleloading.... Would one of these rifles be good for me to get? Never shot one before. Hopeing to find someone around Kingston to let me shoot a muzzleloader but I know ill like it.

Cva optima or tc impact would be my choice for the first time muzzleload hunter. Use pullets and they are easy to load.
