I like the tan color too. I'd prefer to keep it, but I can't handle chips if it happens.

I am not sure... probably not in the mass market but possible in the custom market, because there are still a lot of people that think hunting with stainless is a give away to the animals, but yet in the ML world the SS bore is preferred by many... So it is really possible...

SS can not be blued in the typical manner. It can be covered with Black Ice though.

Shiny is what you don't want.

I never understood the Remington BDL with the high shine bluing and stock?

Scott, SS can be blued prety much just like regular mild steel - it is just a slightly different formula - and hot blueing is much more successful than cold blueing...

If you really like the ML, Have the stuff stripped off and have a professional put a new coat of what you choose on it. If not send the gun back and get your money back.

Why not just bead blast it. Isn't that what the V2 has?

You get the coating off, and a finish in one move.
