Guys... I know what blood does to blueing, I saw that on a couple old guns when I worked in a gun shop... but what does it do to stainless? I ask because of a stainless Kimber I just picked up through a pawn shop. (The number cleared, so I guess it's ok.) I stripped it to clean it, and I had to pry the rubber grips off with my pocket knife. They made that "shluuuck" type of sound as they were coming off, and it was all brownish on the grip with a liguid looking flow to it. I used some Blue Wonder and steel wool, and finally got 99% of it off, but it's the most stubborn junk I've ever seen. What could it be? I would think Coke wouldn't be that stubborn.
