Will putting a stainless barrel on a blued action induce corrision because of the dissimilar metal interaction? The action is a savage long action with carbon steel (or chrome moly) barrel nut.

Re: Stainless Barrel on Blued action
I haven't seen it on the alloy steel actions with SS barrels that I've owned, taken apart, rebarreled, etc.

Re: Stainless Barrel on Blued action
Dissimilar metal corrosion is far more common in situations with less noble alloys than either the stainless or chrome moly steel use in weapons grade aplications. Such as a joint between aluminum and steel. Regular maintenance and lubrication with persisant penetrating lubricants will minimize any chance of dissimilar metal corrosion between most any two metals.
Sorry, short answer is not. Treat it like any other gun and clean/lube it as normal: It'll be fine.
Of course it might be a fashion faux pas...

Re: Stainless Barrel on Blued action
I have had several blued actions with stainless barrels with no rust or corrosion.

This is actually preferred. Stainless on stainless without neversieze may gall.

Thanks guys. I am a function over form person therefore not worried about looks. I plan on ceracoating the barreled action anyway.
