Wanting to do a DMR build to go under my new RCO.  Wanting to use a 20" CHF gov't profile.  Wanting a "treated" bore.  Have read/heard good things about FN's chrome lining but prefer nitride and found these guys: https://apocarmory.com/collections/sale/products/20-5-56-cold-hammer-forged-barrel?variant=34844418058.   Anyone have any knowledge or experience with them?  Thanks.

APOC is good to go. I really like their Nitride BCG, good staking. Order twice last year without any problem, very fast shipping.

For a DMR, at that price point, I would grab a barrel at Larue ($225) or Lothar Walther ($199) instead.

Thanks for the feedback.  Right now the APOC is on sale for $40 off.  Larues aren't CHF'd or chrome lined/nitrided are they?

You're asking the magic question. Mark Larue has been extremely tight-lipped about how his barrels were made, secret squirrel stuff and all. Last time I check no one knows for sure. But the results speak for itself, his Larue Stealth/Predator barrels dominated the 1 MOA ALL DAY CHALLENGE board. I would buy with confidence, unless you're specifically looking for a 20" CHF barrel.

APOC is good to go. Ordered my BCG on Sunday (after Christmas) and shipped out next day on Monday.

Yeah I have no doubt Larue is great stuff.  I'm really leaning towards a gov't or med. profile chf 4150 with a treated bore for longevity.  My reasoning for wanting a chf bbl. is I've had great experience with them accuracy wise and theoretically won't sacrifice any or much in terms of stiffness or overall toughness.
