From what I understand(i.e. I'm not a metalurgist and don't play one internet gun forums) most stainless used in firearms, while slightly more resistant to rust, is somewhat softer than most carbon steel used. As such, I'll go with what's been said before, carbon and hard-chrome and end up with something that's more rust resistant than stainless anyway.
