Of course they could, and probably will if they think there is a market for it.WAYNO said:Why couldn't Ruger give this or other darkening treatments to more of their stainless offerings?

Guess I don't understand. :? I use stainless, almost exclusively. Here's a process that darkens stainless, and I like it. I didn't think I was being critical. In fact, I would like to see this process expanded to their rifles.
If I recall those guns correctly, what Winchester did was iron plate the barrels and then "blue" the iron plating. The various nitriding process used to blacken stainless guns today didn't exist then.Heliman said:I remember in '62, my Dad bought a brand new Model 700 7 mag with a "black" stainless barrel. Not a new concept by any means.....
Bear Paw Jack said:I haven't seen the ad on this but do they specifically call it Cerkote? Also does anyone know if an individual can just have any stainless gun cerakoted or does it take some special preparation? Curious minds and all that.
The gun is a Talo exclusive and, yes, they are very specific that it is Cerakote. The Ruger spec sheet for it reads: "Finish Black Cerakote"Bear Paw Jack said:I haven't seen the ad on this but do they specifically call it Cerkote?
