Ah-ha, Galvanic Reactions!
Deadly to aircraft, extremely annoying to Ferrari owners, and the bane of ship builders the world over! Shame on Remington, Shame!
Basically, your alloy frame is an Anode, and your Barrel is a Cathode, and they work against each other until the weaker Anode is gone! It's the reason they mount Zink blocks to the hulls of ships!
Coatings and hard anodizing would prevent most of this!Makes me wonder why this setup is showing that reaction where ARs don't typically, although they also have steel barrels and aluminum receivers. Better metallurgy maybe?
I've been trying to get the GF into hard anodizing but she just won't go for it.Coatings and hard anodizing would prevent most of this!
Did ya try lube? IDKI've been trying to get the GF into hard anodizing but she just won't go for it.
Man that sucks but it does bring back memories.That is rich, I tried to convince the wife for an anti corrosion coating to no avail as well. Here is the latest from Remington, which is even more of a joke:
