[QUOTE="Edd, post: 924117, member: 30592"] Insignificant is somewhat subjective. It's about 30% stronger, I don't consider that insignificant. It's true stainless actions aren't failing from weakness. It's also true that chromoly actions aren't failing from rust. If that were happening the chromoly bolt in your stainless action would fail. Stainless also galls easier, that's why it has a chromoly bolt. An action is easy to coat. A coated chromoly action will be more corrosion resistant than a bare stainless action action. The coating will also improve the operation of either action. If you like the bead blasted bare stainless look, you could coat a chromoly action with NP3 and it would be stronger than stainless, more corrosion resistant, smoother to operate, and still have that look. You could also coat your stainless action and improve everything except the strength. [/QUOTE]
