I do know that you still need good cleaning practices to maintain even a stainless ML. How is the bore of a Weathershield barrel protected ? Is it more resistant to rust, or is it the same as a blued barrel ?
The coating is only on the outside not the inside.i chose the plain jane triumph since there several great products out there you can apply to the outside of the barrel to protect it.
