    lol!

    Seriously, though...douse the thing in Slip and go shoot. the *phenomenon* will cease to exist until you get a bunch of emulsifier/solvent on it. When that happens, reapply the slip (or whatever else you like).

    Man some of you guys need to get out more. Point me to post where I was flipping out? I was curious, google search yielded no answers so I asked here- on a discussion forum.

    A dap of oil and a rag did the trick...

    Also- Thank you to all who responded in a helpful manner. It being a mold releasing agent makes perfect sense. Not sure why that didn't cross my mind but it didn't...

    Nothing to contribute here, but here is a photo of my 6920 straight out of the box. I thought the grip looked kind of tacky, but it eventually wore off.

    It looks like what is called plate-out. When you injection mold plastic, residue builds up in the mold over time and towards the end of the molding run it starts to cause what you are seeing. Most of the plastics used for that kind of stuff is made in a extruder, which is basically a giant blender with a vacuum pulled on it. Several of the additives have a form of binding wax in them and when the vacuum system starts to get excessively dirty it starts to leave more and more wax in the polymer blend.

    What is it? Does it serve a purpose and does it come off?
    It's a little gift from Colt and the last person to handle it. Enjoy!

    Lol. Quite professional. Did the post you quoted of mine sound like bitching?

    Note: Never do business with Clyde Armory and let me friends know to avoid them as well.

    That is all.
