A lot would be determined if the alloys in the metal are the same, and the size / style or blasting material used. If you are that particular, just order the barrel non-blasted and after you install it on the action, take it to a local bead blaster and have the action and barrel blasted together.
The only stainless action that I have has a polished stainless barrel on it, all of my bead blasted barrels are on blued or nitride coated.
Yeah, sorry.. I overlooked it was stainless. But the above has been my account as well. Every SS barrel I’ve come across has been polished.
I have a Shilen bead blasted stainless barrel and it is somewhat close, but not a perfect match to a factory. I will just say it would be good enough for me.
