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.

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.
