My Dr. just aquired a stainelss steel gun and it si bead blasted. he would like it to be less reflective and I suggested tehe ewter color ruger does on Stainless guins.

Anyone know how it is done or who can do it.

well i did it one time by mistake. i ordered a chrome moly barrel and installed it on a action. when i was done the metal work i sent it out to be blued. a few days later i got a call from the guy that does my bluing and he asked me why i sent him a stainless barrel on an action to be blued. he told me the action was nice and dark but the barrel had turned a flat gray type color. i told him to leave it and if i didn't like it i would polish it again and bead blast it. i believe i was sent a stainless barrel by mistake by the maker. it looks like the ruger target gray color.
