Originally I posted this in the gunsmith section. I had forgot about having this EG. Never know what you might find when you clean out a safe. TIA for any input---



I have a EG Makarov that I have had in the safe for about 2 years stored in a "pistol sock". When I was cleaning the safe the other day I found it. When I put it in the safe the finish was deep dark blue, now it is dull and faded looking. I know humidity is not a problem in the safe, only the Mak shows this condition.

I cleaned it with cleaner, then re-oiled it. It looked good for a couple of days then the dull finish reappeared. What happened? What can I do to restore the original darkness?
