RE: Firearm Metal Preference

i usually like blued better but sometimes stainless looksgood on certian firearms. also, a bit off subject here but along the same lines....who thinks plastic, i mean "synthetic" stocks make a nice rifle/shotgun look tacky as the day is long? i sure do. i can stand that garbage! and dont someone tell me that "they are much more durable than wood" whens the last time you broke a wood stock. and if you can answer that question, there is an old saying that goes "it takes a man not to break a shovel" and i think the same applies here! just my 2 min vent!

"when you buy firearms, do you spend the extra for superior metals?"

Superior in what respect?Some bore cleaners will score your stainless barrel. Most blued barrels are not made of mild steel. They are good grade alloy steel.

The only way to go!!!!!!

Hate to burst your bubble, but in America, a person can buy a stainless, nickel, blued, synthetic, wood, any gun he wants, there's not an "only" way to go.

I guess I'm old school traditional. I prefer blued barrel with a wood stock. Although if I got a good price or won a gun with a stainless steel barrel I wouldn't turn my back.

superior in rust/corosion resistance. every blued firearm i've ever owned has formed rust on some part or other no matter how much i cleaned and took care of it.

If PIMPS carried RIFLES, they would be stainless/synthetic, and oh yeah, they'd have big, obnoxious high powered variable scopes with huge objectives..

Asthetics are important to some of us... That's why I'd never own a T/C Encore...They gotta be one of the UGLIEST durn guns ever made, IMHO..

For some of us, life is too short to hunt with an ugly gun...;)....

Who is the real pimp daddy now!!! LOL!!:D:D:D
