bayougump Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 That is a good price. Amazing how 12-18 months ago these were essentially non-existent and now they are showing up faster than the Stock II's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3djedi Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) They've been in stock a oakhill for the last several weeks. I'm surprised at how long they've lasted! I've been checking it daily.............. they started with about 7 and still have 3 left! Edited June 6, 2015 by 3djedi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idHawk Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I still have two left at $1,099. I'm quite surprised they are still here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habba8 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Wonder if they have them in stainless, I mean chrome? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceinyerface Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Wonder if they have them in stainless, I mean chrome? I don't know what it is in Italy, but in the US "chrome" refers to chrome plating. I can file burrs from a thousand reloads off the frame on the Stock 2 and there is no plating, I would call that Stainless Steel. I'm not a metallurgist or anything so FYI...

You might want to take a magnet to that Tanfo of yours, I'm pretty sure it's chromed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceinyerface Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Chromed = plated Any plating would come off when I hit it with a file. Literally, I can take off metal with a file and it is the same metal throughout. That is not plating. It acts exactly like stainless steel.

habba8 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Here in Italy, we refer to the finish as hard chromed. lol Just kidding about the Italy part..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intercooler2 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 What are the big differences between this one and other models? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealio Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) The chrome is thick. But sure call it stainless, whatever makes you happy man. But seriously stainless has a deeper grey tone than chrome and Tanfoglio says they are hard chrome. Edited June 9, 2015 by Nealio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shabodah Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 FYI, I have multiple different stainless cooking utensils that are magnetic. There are lots of different stainless variations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeerBaron Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) Chromed = plated Any plating would come off when I hit it with a file. Literally, I can take off metal with a file and it is the same metal throughout. That is not plating. It acts exactly like stainless steel. trust me, it's chromed. they are a mild steel frame. polished hard chrome on the flat surfaces and just bead blasted on the round bits. if you need any further evidence models in most markets are called things like "eric gold custom HC" the HC stands for hard chrome. as opposed to the "eric gold custom GK" which stands for gun kote. yes some grades of SS are magnetic. but the tanfo frames and slides are most definitely not stainless. and arguably carbon steel is the best material for a gun frame/slide so I'm glad they are not stainless. edit: as far as the stock III goes they have not been offered in hard chrome. The 'regular' stock 3 is blued. They also make/made a "stock 3 special" which is in kind of a satin finish and came with alloy grips instead of wood. Then there is the stock III xtreme which is GK finish in bronze frame and black slide. stock 3: stock 3 special: stock 3 xtreme stock 2 HC Edited June 12, 2015 by BeerBaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceinyerface Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Here we see a Stock 2 in the wild... After thousands of reloads, the magwell is beat to crap, any trace of electroplating is gone. I took a file to it to get the burrs off and did thousands more reloads. The finish is friggin GONE and yet remarkably no rust, and even more remarkably the metal looks like every other stainless steel I've ever seen. I live in a swamp, just the humidity in the air will make raw steel rust in days, I cannot keep the rust off my deer rifle no matter how hard I try and yet this magwell has never had so much as a drop of oil on it for rust prevention. This is why I say, I don't know what kind of metal it is but it acts like stainless steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
