Hi all,
Can anyone tell me if Forbes made any rifles with a stainless action before they folded? And if any of these made it into NZ?
Just doing my homework on a 24b in 280/280AI (& how they compare against a Kimber).
Cheers & thanks in advance.

Don't think they did. I have a 20b. The action is coated in something that seems to be very effective at stopping rust. The stainless Harrell is showing more rust externally than the action
Old thread FYI

I have one too and no issues at all with the action bluing, however the barrel seems to pick up grime / discolouration and seems slightly porous. I wouldn't say it has rust though. Doesn't seem to be like any of my other stainless barrels - almost as if it is a coating with a slightly rough texture rather than true smooth steel. What do you make of it @Perazzi ?

A big fast bullet beats a little fast bullet every time
Interesting @7mmsaum it gets pretty filthy from the suppressor
Thanks fellas. I've just placed my order. If it does become an issue in the future I guess it can always be coated.

Suppresor should be sealed off from the barrel? maybe you have a hole? or a hushpower....
Hardy Gen V, gets black carbon on it down near the bush end

Will be leaking, one of mine leaked carbon was hitting scope
What should I be looking for to identify the leak? Hasn't run many rounds through it. Can I take off the bush and check for damage or imperfections?
