Some guys I work with recently returned from the National Championship of SWAT--and brough some literature. Loki Weapons Systems ARs really caught my eye.

I do some precision shooting, and the process of nitriding barrels has been on my radar screen for awhile. Loki offers a nitrided 1:8 twist AR barrel for around $250.

Does anyone have any experience with Loki's stuff? These guys look like they are a serious entrant to the AR world.

I shot on the Loki team last season and 3 of my buddies are now. They make some cool built to order and off the shelf stuff. The owner Erik is a very nice guy and their customer service was always a pleasure to deal with. I run another forum where we did a group buy earlier this year and bought about 55 stripped lowers, 20 stripped uppers and a handful of barrels. So far no complaints and everyone is very happy with their stuff. Loki also sponsored a few major matches this year as well.

So who makes their barrels? I'm looking at one for a replacement on my current rifle.

Satern!

Does Satern also nitride the barrels, or does someone else perform this work?

I dont have an answer for that. Give them a call.

Satern does not nitride the barrels. Can't remember who does but call them and ask, don't think it's proprietary info.

I have two of the 18" double fluted barrels, they both shoot under MOA.....I won't be buying any other barrels from now on!!! Not sure who does the nitride work either, but it turns out very well! Give Erik a call, he'll take care of you!

Here is at least one source for info on the salt bath nitriding process:

I'll get in touch with the Loki folks an post an update later.
