Hello all, Chisholm Charlie here!
Presumptuous nickname huh? Had about 4 seconds for something alliterative that I could remember.
My first Ruger was a 10/22 "Sporter", 12th birthday present from local "Whitey's" Western Auto in 1967, and latest is the topic Wrangler, a 6 1\2" Midnight Blue/Brass Cerakote TALO Distributors exclusive.
To the point, I really love the look especially with a set of faux ram horn grips, but before any use and very little handling the cylinder exhibits some large random reddish blotches around it!? My other Rugers, 3 Wranglers included, still look fine after years and many rounds.
This is not a big deal (yet), but I'd hate to have it get worse if I can prevent it, or even restore it to the blueing found on the rest of the cylinder.
Cosmetic only I presume, but unsightly on a spanking new piece.
It's a plinker\hunter that will be worn and rough in due time, so my current a&@! retentiveness is pretty silly but....
What's the deal? Are Wranglers just poorly blued these days?
Thanks for this forum and your replies in advance, Chisholm Charlie
