I currently have a Blackburn Model 70 # 3 that is made from 303 Stainless steel. I don't know if Ted is going to make anymore or not. You could call them and ask. Otherwise, I would sell mine for $400.
Integral box or no? |

| Also be aware that the trigger would likely need to be modified as well. |

| Blackburn is sold out of the Stainless guards, at least I hope. Maggie said that they were sending me their last one.
Duane (Sound Metal Products) is running Model 70 bottom metal right now, I imagine now is a good a time as any to approach him about producing stainless units. |

| 303 is an "easier to machine" stainless..not as "stainless" as 304...which is a bitch to machine. The possible drawback is that 303 will not take a hi polish...don't know how imnportant that is???
I never ask for firm commitments, but I'd like to know the level of serious interest. I'll have to shop for the bar stock and then can give a ballpak price.
I truly suspect not much more thn 1018..but the world is full of surprises! |

| The 400 grade stainless is easier to work with. The 300 grade is soft and has a lot of stress in it. 300 grade has alot of nickel in it and will not rust as easy as 400 grade in my experience. |

| What he said... Aren't most of the actions and barrels made from heat treated 400 grade stainless. I know that 416 engraves very well, so I assumed the machining would be the same.

| A lot of the Remington clones are made from 416R stainless. It machines like butter.
Duane,
I can send you some to play with. I go to my friendly barrel maker and get drops and mess ups.
