    Are you sure about that? I've read multiple accounts of people in the US sending off finished rifle barrels for salt-bath nitriding (specifically ferritic nitrocarburizing according to Google), or 'melonite'.

    I see www.heat-treat.co.nz seems to offer nitriding, carbonitriding and "Black corrosion resistant nitriding". I've never contacted them though.
