I had a loose rib repaired on a set of stainless steel barrels. Who has had good experience having these type barrels blacked?
Thanks,
Mike
I am glad to be here.

Thanks Steve.
I sent a Beretta barrel to Cole Gusmithing to fix the rib and black them again. They have the rib fixed but told me they are waiting untill they have enough barrels to black to do a batch. I don't want to wait anymore.
Thanks again,
Mike

Thanks KD.
About an hour ago Robin from Cole's called me and said my barrels were in the rust blue tank so I guess it is a moot point.
Thanks again,
Mike

I wasn't aware stainless steel could be rust blued.

Yeah, it seems an oxymoron.
But smokeless means that it smokes less and stainless means that it stains less.
Anxious to see how it comes out.
Best,
Mike

Happy to hear Rich is bluing your barrels. The last set he did for me he had reservations about doing the older Beretta barrels because of problems getting the correct solution. My second set was slightly duller than the first but still a very nice job. Rich and his crew really try to please. I hope you have as much sucess as I had.
Best,
Ron

These go on a well used target gun SO5 - post-Ithaca era with the essentially unengraved shiney nickled sidelocks. It has a GSquared recoil reducer so it is hardly original or "beautiful". So a little duller or shinier are both OK.
Thanks!
Best,
Mike

Yes, jOe, it is possible to blue stainless, but, it doesn't surprise me in the least that you would be ignorant of it. Swedish Caprinus (earlier) and Flodman (later) guns with stainless barrels were first iron plated, then blued. Sometimes, if the customer wished, they were left bright. Ditto both treatments on the Darnes with optional stainless steel barrels. Charlins were offered with a stainless option on barrels and receiver metal, but, the only example I've ever seen sits in a jar of water in the Bruchet shop in St. Etienne, and was left bright.
I doubt any of the Darnes sold in this country were ever sold with that option, although it was offered in the 1970s by James Wayne.
Early Remington 700s had a stainless barrel option that was hot blued. My Dad has his black chromed with good results.
Best,
Ted
