I really don't like the "bling" of the bright receiver. Is there any way to color or tarnish it so it's not so bright?

Is the bling polished steel ? Or is it a plating ?

I pretty sure it's nickel plating. I thought about cerekote but would rather not have a barrier finish that will scratch and show the nickel. I was hoping for a way to maybe oxidize the receiver.

Far easier to get a different model... like the Black Onyx or similar...

Craigster, that's exactly what I've been trying to find. I'll try out both methods, on different little spots.

Never tried it but Dunlap in "Gunsmithing" says this:
To Blacken: Immerse until black in the following solution, then wash and dry, (use rubber gloves):
Nickel Ammonium Sulphate 525 grains
Potassium Sulphocyanide 3 oz.
Copper Carbonate 2 oz.
Water (Distilled) 1 gallon
The key elements in human thinking are not numbers but labels of fuzzy sets. -- L. Zadeh
Which explains a lot.

Thank you gentleman. A few phone calls and emails and I should be on my way.
