Why are blue finishes more durable tha CC?

Scott you have 3 choices for lacquering CC parts. You can acquire lacquer( Galazan, Brownells, or Midwest), camelhair brush (Hobby Lobby) and mineral spirits. Clean the parts in mineral spirits and brush the lacquer on evenly. J.A. Early has a well thought procedure. Finally you can do it my way which is to clean the parts thoroughly, mask all internal surfaces, and spray the parts with Krylon clear lacquer. Scott, your choice

Whether we like lacquer coating or not, it was used at the factory by Ithaca, Fox, and others. Not sure about Parker.

Thanks CraigB

Guess I'm in the camp that just can't seem to find anything more gratifying then watching the colors go gray and the engraving coming to life. Dog doesn't seem to care one bit so, I won't either
