Simple question maybe but I can not seem to find an answer.

I have a stainless 1911.

I want to replace the magazine release lock because the screw head is buggered up.

My gun is ceracoated grey, so a dull blued one will match the best.
Will I get into any trouble with 2 different metals touching?

Thanks,
Brandon
 
It should be fine; just keep anything that isn't stainless lightly oiled, as you normally would. Lots of 1911s have mixed stainless and carbon steel parts.

Galvanic corrosion in this case is only likely in a very corrosive environment.
