anyone got the blues? Dan Wesson Blued Valor 5" .45 acp!
I bought this dude on a whim as I always thought this piece was coo. They dried up and almost nonexistent on the used market. Its a nice piece.... needed some tuning on the extractor and I did some other mods. I ran 100 rounds down range yesterday and it was hot.
I was sweaty but I thought I was being careful and wiping any sweat off.
I take it home, and a few hours later... I take it apart and there was a small rust blob underneath the slide stop and thumb safety that ate the bluing. URGHHH!!!
should I have some spray oil and after shooting, coat it down in some rags?
or silicone cloth, rig rag but none of that would have prevented the rust underneath the two parts that also had plenty of oil there too.
I did use some old EWL, and I looked it up and it's a CLP.
"our enhanced preservative immediately bonds itself and forms a barrier film on the surface that displaces water and provides a corrosion resistant barrier against rust and dirt."
I would assume, the few hours was a few too many to address this blued 1911.
