Without injuring the rifle? Are there necessary aftercare steps that need to be taken after?

Not sure what you mean? Can you elaborate as to what you're plans are?

If someone decided that they would like a different look than a blued rifle, is there a way to make it stainless instead?

Not without replacing it. Two different metals, stainless does not accept bluing.

Nah im not to worried about it. I just remembered a member here did it to 1 of his rifles but I cant remember the post, maybe he will respond. I think the post was "Did some polishing last night" It just looked really nice

silver duracoat could give it a matte stainless look! Other than that you gotta replace the parts you wanna change.

I believe that post was mine, but I was polishing stuff that was already stainless, just giving it more of a "bling" factor...LOL

Guess you could take the bluing off and the clear the raw metal though, but I dont know if it would look like stainless or not.

Duracoat has a good stainless color that would work well and its easy to use.

Why not check with our new site sponsors. Gulf Coast
They may have a finish that is close to looking like brushed stainless.
