Taurus Finish Problem

Gdawgs is right. Different metals may have been used for those pins. They will take to the finish or oils (because if porosity) differently. It's nothing to worry about.

Gun repairs can be First-in, First-out. You want to return the gun ASAP to the customer as possible. If you hit a delay (like waiting for a part or for a jig to be free), then the serviceman moves onto the next gun to keep busy. If there is a heavy workload, it can take a couple of months. I waited over a year for one reputable gunsmith to reline a revolver barrel.
 
I called them today, I should have it tomorrow. I talked to the supervisor and asked him what kind of pins they were and he said they were steel pins, then I asked that the process just didn't take to the pins due to them being steel pins and he agreed. I'm happy with that, this may be the only gun that will do something like this. I'll be glad to get it back, wife can't wait to go shooting with it again. This is a great Website!

No holes here?:confused:
 
Of course they are steel pins, it's an alloy frame gun, the steel pins will not take an anodize finish so they likely paint them or something that washed off with the bore cleaner.

Frankly it's a non issue, I have seen a lot of Alloy frame guns where the puns stand out, unless you coat or plate it that's how it us going to go. So it goes. Shoot and enjoy it, whatever they do to fix it will likely be short lived.
 
Thanks guys, got the gun back today, ready to go and do some shooting.
check out picture, seven shooter.

I have a blued judge PD and after I cleaned it I could see a slight difference in the blueing on those
same pins. Not terribly noticeable, but deffiantely there.

I just chalked it up to a different metal. My blued
Ruger revolvers have a different hue on the frame around the cylinder than the barrel and trigger guard. I assume this is also b/c of different metals
