You indeed do some very nice restorations, both with steel and with wood. I had an HK P9 that had the bluing turn to a plum color so I wrote to HK to ask them about it. They replied that sometimes it could be the strength of the bluing solution and or any changes in it's formula, differences in the composition of the metal itself, or even slight variations in the metal's heat treatment; or any combination of these or possibly all three of the reasons given.
Thanks for the reply, I will look at options to rescue this, then.I think you can save that slide, the pits are not that deep. Also if you bead blast it first, it will help hide a lot of the pitting.
