Picked up an AR-15 nitrided/melonited barrel at the KCR MG shoot over the weekend and I want to put a standard type front sight base on it. I understand that meloniting is hard as woodpecker lips and gives HSS & cobalt fits... any truth to this or will I be OK trying to DIY it with a drill press and cobalt bits ??
Since the barrel market for both AR & AK seem to be moving toward nitriding and away from chrome lining I though It would be time to get this figured out. Thanks.
