I like the plum-colored variations of the various Ruger revolvers and look specifically for them when I have the $$ to buy a new one: have Single Sixes, a Blackhawk, an SS, and an older blue GP-100 .38, all with various "plum" parts.
But I've never seen a Ruger Standard or MKI Target .22 auto with any plum parts. Methinks that this is because they have no investment-cast parts. True? (I have seen them turn brownish with age and humidity, but that's a whole different process, I think).
And I've never seen a blued Red Label shotgun that has "plummed up" at all, and I know that they DO have investment-cast parts. Is it perhaps because they haven't been around long enough for the chemical changes that cause "plumming" to happen? Or is it that I just haven't looked at that many?
Plum curious about "plum" guns.
