Its on there foreva.
Under the black pvd layer its electroless nickel plated.
How's the smoothness of the Trinyte finish (either the original silver or the black coated)? I have a Rem 7600 Weathermaster with the electroless nickel finish --- it's very tough and durable and is showing no signs of flaking; however, it does have a noticeable texture to it compared to e.g., a stainless 700 BDL barrel (which itself is considerably smoother than a 700 SPS).
From the pictures, it looks like the Trinyte is pretty smooth, but it would be good to get a first-hand opinion.
