Blued NECG sight on stainless barrel?
If I wanted to add a NECG barrel band sling swivel and one of their front sights to a stainless barrel how will that look? Any examples?

I really, really don't like the look of blued hardware on a SS barrel.

I wonder if you could get the front sight nickle plated or QPQ(or RFR or what ever the acronym is for the space age paint systems) in a color that would match the barrel.

I've pondered this w/ a M70 classic that I have plans for. Get the WHOLE thing coated black w/ one of the new miracle coatings.

here's some bubba'ed up solutions...

like 1200ged exhaust paint!

it actually looks just like duracoat, and it 8 bucks+ acetone to clean the metal with

or krylon "aluminum" paint, to cover the blued parts ..


opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club

i did not really thing about a finish like gunkote or one of the other baked on finishes. i suppose they will apply to stainless.

Look on page 18 of B&M thread. One gun with blued banded sight and two of my 50 B&M's with blued standard sights.
