[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 1320376, member: 22335"] FYI, the SLS is blackened stainless. I'm not sure exactly what process Weatherby used to do this, but I suspect it's what increased the costs of the Accubrake installation. They likely had to re-blacken part or all of the barrel, and possibly the brake itself. I had one NIB SLS that I sold a while back, and still have one that's used. I found that carbon cleaner (for barrels) will remove the blackening material, so I had mine Cerakoted so that I could clean the barrel and never worry about it. I suspect that the tang will have to be reworked on this rifle and the entire assembly re-blackened again. [/QUOTE]
