12borejimbo Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Just buy the stainless! Harder wearing and easier to keep clean! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Logic Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Just buy the stainless! Harder wearing and easier to keep clean! Harder wearing? Hmmm... Gunsmiths I talk to say that they prefer working with stainless because it's easier to machine, so I don't think it can also be harder wearing. Corrosion resistant I'll give you mind!

We could nickel plate it, polished it would be too shiny for field use but matte nickel would work I guess, some airguns are finished that way.

I agree with you that blued steel with walnut looks a lot better, but all my guns are stainless now. As Fister says if its that big of a deal then get it Duracoated.
