stainless steel

[redrider]

I would like to know the pros and cons. Is it as strong? Heavier? Durable? Please let me know.

This debate will never die. Personally, I think the steels, whether carbon or stainless, used in firearms today are near equal in durability. There are many who disagree, but I have never had a problem with modern stainless guns. That being said, I think a highly polished blue with a well figured wood stock looks nicer than stainless, but that is a personal thing.

i like wood/stainless for a 10/22
i like synth/stainless for a meat gun
i prefer wood/blue for that 'classic' look
i will never make up my mind.
that's the fun part

Mars in the finish don't show as bad.

Rust resistant.

If you like the look, it looks better.
