I have a couple of barrels that I would like to have nitrided, but I don't really know if any sources that will do this for me.  Recommendations?

WMD guns might do it.

This is where most manufacturers send theirs. I do believe.

They list it as a service but I haven't used them for it but I have had them NIBX three sets of receivers for me and they turned out perfect.  I will definitely do business with them again and give them my recommendation.

Ballpark cost for the treatment?

I notice they have some 1911s on their website.

NIBX per upper=$75

Nitromet per rifle barrel=$75

The problem with nitriding assembled barrels is that the barrel extension can, and often does, work loose after the process.
I've seen it happen on two separate guns that I've worked on where the barrels were nitrided after assembly.

The proper method is to nitride before assembly, and contrary to popular belief, you can drill a gas port in a nitrided barrel.
