[QUOTE="Cohiba, post: 3250266, member: 2550"] Dang it!!!!!! My wife has been after me to pick out my B-Day Present for next week... Okay I go to H&H today and see a NEW Colt SAA...and I'll take it. I get up to the checkout counter and [U]what the heck do I see???!!!!![/U] On the right side, about 1/4" from the end of the barrel and on the site is this gray..speckled....light discoloration. I think it may be dry oil or some sort of cosmoline. I get an oil rag from the sales person and lightly try to wipe it off....it won't come off. Now I notice it on the other side of the barrel but a little less pronounced. Now I'm concerned because it's starting to look like some discoloration on the barrel tip...that if I shoot it I [B]DON'T[/B] want the bluing to possibly flake off. I didn't want to buy it and have problems [B]THEN[/B] I have to send it back to Colt. [B]NO DEAL[/B]... So they take it back BEFORE I finish my purchase and will have the gunsmith look at it tomorrow. I just hate finding a new gun, get ready to purchase and see a possible problem...dang it. Rant off..........:soapbox: [/QUOTE]
