I want to remove the blueing from my mosin barrel and just have a steel barrel. From what I've read online it seems like a pretty easy process, but I thought I better ask around on ingo before I do something stupid by mistake. From what i understand I can set the barrel in vinegar to remove the blueing and then use steal wool to to remove and rust or crap on the barrel, then i can polish the barrel. Then i just apply BROWNELLS-GUN-KOTE™OVEN CURE, GUN FINISH and let it bake in my oven for an hour or so and its all good. does that sound right?

Your title is misleading as it won't be stainless steel at all.
Good luck, I can't offer you any advice as I've never tried this.

it will fit corner to corner no problem.
thanks for replying i guess. lol
Stainless is stainless all the way through, not just a coating. It's not just bare steel; it's an entirely different ally with a couple of other metals mixed in to pretty much prevent corrosion.
I'm not personally familiar with the coating you're planning on using, but from the name of it, it sounds like it should work. I'd just worry about dings and scratches, leading to rust.
You might try a small sample of steel, rod or whatever, polish it up and clean clean clean it, then bake some of the coating on. Torture it a little bit to see what it'll take before you commit to a whole rifle barrel.
