Century Arms No.4
Okay, I'm partway into stripping my newly arrived Century Arms '43 Long Branch and I have a question: is there a good reason for my barrel to be painted green under the handguards? I don't mean oxidized, discolored, etc. It is PAINTED GREEN, I can see the brush strokes. WTF is this?

Thank you! I was taken aback, I've never seen anything like it on a surplus gun before.

England does not qualify as the tropics but they may still have put Quinine in their Gin at home.

The urban legend about saltpeter in military food and drink is a complete falsehood, but my wife sprinkles estrogen on my Corn Flakes every morning hoping I will talk to her more and spend less time in the gun forums.

They put bromide in the tea in Malaya to stop us getting a) horny and b) catching 'tropical' diseases from the locals.
It's just started to work!
