"Frosting" is a marketing word, invented to make a corroded/pitted/rusty bore sound better.

There are many degrees of "frosting", but we should really call it what is is- corrosion from whatever source. JMHO.

A pistol with a "frosted" bore is worth less than one with a clean, bright bore- all else being equal.
