Re: the 'durability' of the 'case colouring' ...
I've used one of my Repros, maybe 5x in Clay target competition. ( 150 shells at most ) Still amazed at how quickly the receiver has turned to silver ! Probably, why I baulk at using my other ( SCC ) Repro. P.S. I'm Australian, in case anyone is wondering about my 'creative' spelling. Lol |

On Repros that I use regularly I apply a light coat of Tru-Oil periodically. When I say light I mean light. I have found this to significantly protect the Case Color.

Brian Dudley should not be overlooked.
As far as PRESERVING case colors, I am happy to have the colors wear off as I use them on clays or on the beach. I buy Repros to use. I am proud to have the gun show the wear. If I didn't want to lose any case, I would keep them in the safe. But I am not the norm and I accept that. |

In my experience refinishing Parker repros, the metal finish is not a result of any hardening process. It appears to be a photo film process. We strip these receivers with M.E.K. prior to polishing.
