IS there a way to go from blued to stainless?

[Southernfryedyankee]

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

[pdog06]

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

[Southernfryedyankee]

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

[rjtfroggy]

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

Ok I truly thank you for your reply

Silver spray bomb ? I'm sorry I'm not sure I know what you want to achieve here a stainless look nickel plate is all I can think of unless they have a teflon silver finish sell the gun and buy a stainless one

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.

OH HAHAHAHAHAHA

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.
