ole col, just a reminder to you and utters...contrary to popular mythology, i do no gun work of any kind, including receiver case coloring via any method, including flame broiling...i am but an observer of what passes before my eyes and thru my hands...in fact, over the years, i have come to the conclusion that receiver coloring is counter productive to classic gun preservation and involves too many risks to justify the expense...
You are correct that I judge your torching by reputation. I have not the energy or concern to go back and research all the threads to prove it. I remain comfortable anyhow, on this one anyway.
As for stirring the pot by asking a question on this subject, I doubt anyone other than you would argue.
I hope you are now sincere in opposing torching and will correctly identify any gun you sell that has been torched as such.
PS all of us make errors at times in our posts from time to time. Deliberate Lil Abner stylizations are just plain irritating. Then again that may be why you do it?
