Hey all,

 

While looking into the whole purple bluing phenomenon, I've come across a bunch of explanations that all center around a batch explanation, be it chemistry, temp, etc. So my question is whether there's a known serial # or mfg year range for the affected batches. Also, if a frame were to turn, would it likely have done so by now? Or is it a process that occurs with use/heat exposure?

 

Thanks!

I don't think year/model has any bearing on the condition.  I have a few Monson guns with it in various degrees and I have a new in box unfired Norwich gun that has it also.  It has more to do with chemistry than anything else, IMHO.

 

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

On my First Issue 15-2 the cylinder has gone barney, the frame just very very slightly  Is there a cure/treatment? I would love to hear a long unintelligible chemical explanation.
