Why Stainless??

Aaron · 09-24-2002, 11:42 PM

I have often wondered the same thing, and have come up with a couple of guesses. First, stainless saves the cost of blueing. Secondly, these stainless guns are made with investment castings and CNC machines, and it may be that stainless is easier to work with using these procedures. Maybe one of our machinist or metallurgical engineer types can shed some light on this.
