A-606 doesn't pit, Jim -- if A-606 is indeed what Steve has. It's a
high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel that's formulated to produce a
protective coating of rust that, after it penetrates to a certain depth,
stops rusting. The rust forms a dense, nearly impenetrable layer.


How does that work?

As far as browning, I just re-did a barrel we clocked to get the sights pointing straight
(damn thing shot way left and you know I can't tolerate that), I used some Birchwood Casey
Plumb Brown.

As far as the brown goes, I thought it was combination of the rust + oil that kept it from
rustiong further.

Obviously something different goes on with Core ten.
