[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 905977, member: 5219"] Yes the barrel in the picture is a SS. It diffuses the sun with its patina. I did it so I could switch barrels and if any vise marks showed up I could easily remove them without going to someone with a sandblaster. I doubt that tiny surface at the crown is going to alarm critters on a regular basis. I would think the sun angle would be such that most of the time there would be no flash. Now if you are sneaking near the Mexican border and don't want the spotters for the drug runners to see you that is a different story. How about gently placing a golf T into the bore and hitting it with some flat black? If you have any refinishing facilities you could get it powder coated. I did that once with a Ruger 10-22 SS barrel and while they were at it they did the receiver. The crown has minor discoloration after several hundred rounds but only close to the opening. [/QUOTE]
