    Still, the high nickel content will cause a red hue in guns as opposed to the black finish. Parkerizing never gave us that result. Hard to say what was done to this .50 between then and now. The side plates are black and the rest isn't. I've seen lots of these guns with all age of dates stamped and never seen one with red parts.

    Jim-- That's the nature of the Armasteel that was used in those components when standard bluing is used. It does give the gun an interesting Steam Punk look!! LOL!
