First pistol build

Okay folks... How do you protect your stainless barrels? They show oils from finger prints line none other. I'm gonna give it a light coat of fireclean before I install the barrel. Is this a good idea? What do you do to protect them?

I've done nothing special to any of my stainless barrels, and haven't had any issues with them.

I'm sure a light coat of oil wouldn't hurt.

That's what I'm thinking. My noveske barrel didn't show fingerprints like this. Granted, this isn't a $450 barrel. I'll hit it with oil. Worst comes to worst I'll cerakote it. Recently got access to a shop with a huge oven (guy who owns it powder coats) and I have the rest of the equipment needed. 30 bucks buys me the stainless cerakote.

Which brings me to my next subject. Gonna coat the receiver set and rail in armor or graphite black, so I may just hit the barrel for shits and gigs.

I sprayed my first AR the Rock River with a Krylon job and put it through hell… I mean it wasn't pretty but the spray paint was still mostly there when I sold it during the panic
