While I don't want to sound like Disabled is lying, as I certainly believe that he was told this by Ruger, I still have my doubts as it would be a key selling point to advertise. If the barrel is a nitride treated barrel, marketing would be yelling it from the rooftops! It would be a positive selling point for their rifle.
