Looks to me like the receiver was dirty or had oil spots left on it during the process?

Here is a sample of our bone charcoal color case. Dave's P grade receiver was done with a different process using tricalcium phosphate color enhancing. In that process the gun isnt restored like it would be in traditional bone charcoal color case hardening. Rather it is a less expensive way to add some color to a shiny shooter. Our traditional bone charcoal process involves tireless hours of polishing, as well as total degreasing. Here is a very similar P grade we recently totally restored.

Well, I received a phone call from Brad Bachelder. And in all fairness to Brad, he wasn’t aware of the situation, and has offered to redo the case colors, at no charge. Which seems more than fair to me.
