With the subject of compensator barrel nuts I got to thinking. I know, it was really hard, but I thought of an idea for a different look.
Take the stainless material and machine it to the proper diameter, blue it then machine the holes or slots or what ever you really wanted. The compensator would be blue with stainless shining through where the machining was done.

Bluing is a form of staining, ergo won't work on "stainless" steel.
There are ways to blacken stainless with a Teflon type coating or Black Oxide.

Stainless can also be laser-colored to almost any color you would like.

Often times manufacturers "plate" the stainless steel with copper wash or other material and then blue/black the "plating". Oxynate No. 84 instructions have to be followed to the "letter" and even then, some high nickel content stainless steels will still not blue satisfactorily......................Dick
