Re: The new Bat Tactical Actions (BTA) just arrived! As far as I know, there is no heat treating after the process, they are cleaned/polished and assembled. Same goes for chambered barrels that are sent in. No heat treat afterwards. If you are really concerned call Daryle at BAT Machine...- JamieD

The new Bat Tactical Actions (BTA) just arrived!
Re: The new Bat Tactical Actions (BTA) just arrived! Looks good and I would expect anything coming from Bat to work fine. The coating really isn't a coating even though it does turn the parts black. It surface hardens the parts so there is less chance of gulling and helps them run really...- JamieD

The new Bat Tactical Actions (BTA) just arrived!
Re: The new Bat Tactical Actions (BTA) just arrived! The action and bolt were left in the melonite finish. The barrel was Cerakoted graphite black. I would leave the bolt alone - if you must coat it I would probably do IonBond in Black or Dark Earth. The action can be coated. I would go...- JamieD

Re: The new Bat Tactical Actions (BTA) just arrived! There is a lot of good articles written out there but in short the main differance is that the Salt Bath Nitride / Melonite actually hardens the surfaces a couple thousanths deep into the metal. Where Ionbond is just a coating. The...- JamieD
