I am looking for a 20 or 18 inch Cold Hammer Forged 410 Stainless Steel Barrel that has been Melonite or similarly treated, with Polygonal Rifling and hopefully a 1:8 twist in a Rifle length gas system.
Has anyone seen such a Unicorn?

You could buy one in 416 SS from Blackhole Weaponry (but it wont be CHF) and have it melonited by WMD Guns.  That's what I've done...

The 18" I had melonited was averaging within 70 fps of my buddy's 24" stainless DPMS barrel with M193 ammo.

It's only money brother. You can get just about anything you want if you're willing to pay for it. I'm not aware of anyone offering that particular barrel as a standard option though.

I could be wrong but I thought melonite treatment and stainless steel was a no bueno combination...
