[QUOTE="ElCidAviator, post: 2734846, member: 119571"] You just sent me down a deep rabbit hole. Pretty interesting, used a lot in the medical field. I’m curious as why it hasn’t made it to the gun industry. I would guess that it’s cost inhibitive to passivate (is that the correct term?) barrels when we don’t see a ton of rust on stainless barrels even when fluted. I’ve never polished a barrel, but I did take a surplus CZ-75b and refurbish it as a surprise present for my dad. I hand polished the entire thing and when we took it to a gun shop to have blued my dad was moaning that he liked the look of it polished. The smith told us that with a high gloss polish it won’t rust, I then turned and gave the pistol to my dad as the bluing was the last step of the refurbish. To the smiths credit it’s never rusted at all and it’s been 6 years since I did the work. [/QUOTE]
