It depends on what you consider adequate corrosion resistance. If we rate corrosion resistance from 1 to 1000, a factory-blued gun will have a rating of about 2. A parkerized gun will have a rating of about 100. Not bad. However, the Stealth-Tech™ processed gun will have a rating of 1000. In addition, the polymer coating provides a uniform, low luster, flat black finish which will not glitter and scare away game.
