Anybody know whether the Ruger Vaquero with the false color case finish has a carbon steel frame or a stainless frame to which the "color case" finish is applied?
As I've posted before this finish has gotten some rust spots on it and when I wipe the rust off, the finish comes off with it (and I'm just wiping it down with oil, FYI). The metal itself hasn't been damaged, but if the frame is carbon steel, I'm going to have a local smith blue it. If it's stainless, I'll just have him remove the finish and leave it white. Either way, the aluminum grip frame is going to be replaced with a brass one.
