I wonder what critical components are included. They imply its more than just the barrel.
I'm guessing the breech plug and primer adapter at the least. I'm not sure about the receiver, but if it is some alloy other than steel, it's probably not. I know the nitrided CVA rifles are just the barrel and breech plug, and possibly the firing pin bushing. The receiver definitely is not and is a black coated non steel alloy. The nitriding process appears to be ideal for muzzleloaders because it covers the inside of the barrel, as well as the outside, and since it is not a coating, doesn't add anything to the inside surface of the barrel. Nitrided stainless steel should be as good as it gets.
