Default Re: Strawed parts

Art has hit your nail on the head. I do similar work. Failure to keep oil or grease on the metal surfaces will cause "fading" over time. Due to simple oxidation.......oxygen in the air. That is why many Mauser lugers may appear somewhat pale, when they actually started out quite dark.
