Well, I have noticed that my beloved "original purchase" 15-2 is getting a very solid case of Barney. I just spent the hour looking on here about what it is and what can or can't be done. 

 

I think for my gun, I will just learn to love it. However, do wonder.. permanent fix =

 

 

 

 

wait for it....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

plating!

Soap Box, Ballot Box, Ammo Box

in that order.

EWK_Stuff also knows someone that can reblue it to where the Barney effect doesn't return.  I know Steve had one of his plated with excellent results as well.

I did bright nickel on a 15-2 through my local gunsmith, cost mid $300, and my guy said he'd probably want more to do another. It was well worth it for me:

I elected to leave hammer and trigger blued as you can see

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

That's for sure!Drool

 

I think that a certain degree of "Barney" is palletable in the eye of the beholder. I've got three that are mildly Barneyed, but I must admit...if any of them get anywhere near resembling pink, they're getting plated!lol2
