Looking to find a retailer or any info where I can buy a stainless steel shotgun.NOT marine coat nickel.Or a reference where I can have one plated or coater besides Robar.Thanx always.
 
You can't find a retailer anywhere, because there isn't any such stainless-steel shotgun.

At least no Mossberg, Remington or Winchester I ever heard of.


As for coatings, look at Armoloy...they've been around for decades:

There is no "stainless steel" plating. Industrial hard chrome, like Armaloy, or nickel are your plating options. Or youcan paint it with one of the gun paints currently in vogue. Might as well get the Marine Coat.

Actually there was someone in Sweden who was making an all stainless steel O/U -very expensive.You could have yours hard chrome plated which would be the best way.
 
I shoot with a guy that has a (I believe) stainless steel BT 99 or BT 100.

It's a nice gun. The real problem is that he really shoots it well!
 
The OP didn't say what it was for -- his fault -- so we all are free to assume what he meant.

So, I was talking about repeating SD shotguns, not double-barrel hunting shotguns.

Winchester 1300

Winchester used to make a model 1300 Marine Defender which had an 18" nickel-plated, stainless steel barrel, anodized aluminum alloy receiver and plated parts.

So while the barrel was nickel-plated, it was nickel-plated stainless.
 
Bill they were indeed nickel plated Stainless.

I do not know why they did it, but they did. At the grand this year the Remington booth had a display with a number of stainless steel barrels from different manufacturers. All of them had rust except, surprise, surprise, the Remington stainless steel barrel with their fancy new coating. I guess since stainless steel can still rust (albeit less), and the Marine Defender was supposed to stand up to the harshest conditions they kind of double protected their guns.



Also Ruger no longer makes the Stainless Steel Red Label. Get 'em while you can.
 
Old Winchester model 12's could be had with a nickle steel barrel.

Browning BT99, BT99 Max and BT100 could be had with a SS barrel but the rib was carbon steel.

I believe Ljutic has and may still make a SS gun.

A thing to remember any shotgun the has a SS steel barrel will be a low nickle high carbon content. The carbon is what makes steel strong and the nickle is what makes steel, stainless steel. A SS gun will not have the same properties as say 304 SS process metal (this is the stuff that will resist rusting). A SS steel gun will still rust and magnets will stick to them as well as a lower grades of stainless. Also remember stainless steel is just that it is not stainproof steel and under the right condition SS will rust and/or corode.
