I had a local gunsmith put together a 25-06 on an old Sako action. I really like the rifle and the accuracy but the gunsmith has tried twice to blue the stainless steel barrel and the bluing is very fragile. Can you suggest a coating that will be durable on a stainless steel barrel?

If you really want a stainless barrel to be a different color, there are a whole bunch of coatings that will do the job. I've become very fond of Cerakote in recent years--but with a stainless barrel leave it bare most of the time.

Barry, I think they have decided to not be interested in the small guy anymore. They are after industry and the military. I was told this last week. I do have 2 barrels that are past due from them. Butch

Hmm... Does that mean no more Mr. Keegan? He was supposed to aggregate orders for MMi so MMi wouldn't have to deal with a bunch of individuals.

Barry, I just talked to Joel Kendrick at MIMI and he said Bobby is Still doing them on a bulk basis. They are just not taking work from individuals anymore. Butch
