Well, I traded my Remington PSS 308 with a Springfield Armonry Gen 2 Scope for an Arnold Arms Accu-Custom with a 6.5-20x Leupold in 220 Swift.
The Arnold Arms is built on an old L571 Sako action with a very heavy barrel and McMillan stock.

Question though, The gun is coated with some sort of teflon finish, is there anyway to tell if the barrel is stainless?

Also, I know Arnold Arms is out of business, but other than that does anyone know anything about them.

Check it with a magnet.

A magnet may not do it. The particular grade of stainless steel used for firearms isn't exactly "stainless steel". These barrels will rust with extended exposure to very harsh elements which means that they are ferrous (have iron in them...magnetic).

I would just call Arnold Arms, give them the serial number and ask them. I'm sure they have a record of it.

A magnet stuck to all of my barrels. Pac-Nor, Blackstar, and Krieger, it also stuck to my blued barrels from Remington, Dakota, etc.

Maybe I don't get it, what is the magnet trick.

JCS- Arnold Arms is out of business.

As far as Arnold Arms is concerned, I know on another site that there were an awful lot of customer complaints about a year ago. People having to wait for an unusually long period of time before getting their guns back and the work not always done.

Haven't heard anything recently.

Stainless barrels are generally manufactured from 416 series stainless. It's a free machining, magnetic grade of alloy. While there are a few series of stainless steels that are magnetic, most are NOT... hence the wide use of magnets to determine if a piece of metal is stainless or not. If your interested try a google search for "416 stainless", you can probably read for hours!
