Default RE: Weather-proofing a rifle????

You are absolutely right, Stainless will rust and gun grade s/swill rust worse than any other grade of s/s, though certainly not as fast as chrome moly. Firearms are not built with surgical grade stainless........

Cerekote is applied over a bead blasted metal, baked on and VERY tough, it will adhear to aluminum, chrome moly, and stainless as well.I've two presently coated with it, and will have anything in the future coated that I feel is in need of weather proofing.

UBC is an excellent corrosion preventative for internals, I know of a muzzleloader that's been fired during thetesting of UBCthat shows NO sign of bore corrosion. The number of shots fired without cleaning would boggle the minds of most.

UBC is available for the DIY'er to do at home, very simple to apply and well worth the effort/cost.

The best thing to do is call Doug Burche at Ultracoatings and let him tell you about it, if anyone needs to know the details.
