What are my options?

Capt Rick Hiott · August 30, 2010, 05:50 AM

I have a Stainless steel Taurus Raging Bull that I want to hunt with.

Ive been told that you cant blue S/S, but there is something else out there that's about the same (In color)

If I can get it, I'm looking for a flat black finish.

I can do the Dura-Coat,,but I'm looking for something better.

Any help guys?

See if these people can help, their in Liberty Mo.(816)-781-2323. That's the number for Great Guns Gunshop, there is a fella associated with this shop that dips guns, I don't know if it could be done, but call. (nothing to loose) I've seen some of the rifles he has done and they're remarkable to say the least!

Yes, you can "blue" stainless steel. A few shops do it.

Or you can GunKote the firearm. Much better than DuraCoat, IMO.

OR.......... the gun can be temporarily sprayed with a matte/black paint for the hunt/season, then dipped in laq thinner/remover afterwards.
