IIRC the chamber on the M16A2 is made of the stuff. My M1A is coated on the exterior with the propietary ROGARD finish with the insides coated with their NP3 finish and both are "self lubricating." I can shoot thousands of rds and just wipe the piece down and be good to go. But it's a finish over steel. It's rust and corrosive resistant. But steel beneath. I wouldn't trust an alloy metal (not even titanium).
