Does anyone know how they blued or blackened the ORIGINAL factory stainless barrel TIA
Comments
Mine is blue
I know , but I always heard you could not blue stainless steel
can they blue stainless or not TIA
1st they iron plate it and then blue normally
Not sure how Remington did it but here is a tutorial on how to do it yourself;

Smith & Wesson made some blued model 66s, so yep, it's done sometimes.
Thanks for all the info, Frank
... same as a couple of other posts, my .270 was blued when I bought it
AND it's quite common for the factory Remington stainless barrels that are blued to freckle.
My Old Remington 700 (264 Win Mag) with a blued stainless barrel will reflect like a mirror on a sunny day.
