I have a question; why do some of the older Ruger 77 receivers turn "plum/purple" as they age?
I have a 77R in 6.5 Rem Mag that is very "plum", while the barrel is still dark blue. I assume that they were blued at the same time and the receiver has turned color, while the barrel has remained dark blue, because of the alloy used.
I don't see any of the newer Ruger 77s turning plum color, or maybe I'm just not looking hard enough to see them. It means they are bruising when you shoot them and will soon fail. Please shoot me a PM and I can help you dispose of them.
I don't eat anything that didn't have a mother.
