[QUOTE="Radman, post: 1974222, member: 112033"] Like you, I have lost track. While many are truly stainless through & through, (pins, screws, bolt internals, clips & springs), many DO use steel that isn't stainless. A few years back high-end stainless (ie; 316) was not magnetic at all. (I've welded many, many miles of it. When you couldn't run chemistry out in the field a quick check was with a magnet) Today most stainless is magnetic. I recently disassembled a friend's rifle just to see. I was surprised that it WAS SS throughout! I owned one that was not. You brought up a very good point! [/QUOTE]
