Are you keeping it in a case with the eggshell type padding? That will cause the spots.

Probably just the lube/cleaner that you used on the internals. How are you storing them? In the stock case? Not the best idea since the foam absorbs then leaves it on your rifle.

Yes it's in a case with egg-shell padding, I will remove it and see if they go away. Thanks.

Be sure to wipe with a dark rag rather than paper towells.

Here is a pic, clear as I can get it.
 The spots dont wipe off, it's like something is rubbing little shallow chunks out of the receiver... is it the egg-shell padding for sure? (to the left of the magazine release and on the magazine slot) |

just oil the whole thing for an even finish and call it a day.

I think my question would be, does that happen with wear and use of the rifle? If so, I could care less because I keep good care of my rifles. But if the finish isn't supposed to have little indentations in it, I'd like to know :/

The egg shell padding should not be affecting the anodizing, as the finish is very hard. If your anodizing is comming off, then the reciever was not properly finished. |

Try the oil and a patch and see what happens.
it not the the eggshell hurts the finish, but pulls the oil off the metal which causes the blotchs. those dark specs wont be caused by the eggshell. |

If it was me I wouldn't worry about it. It isn't going to affect the function & almost every receiver I have seen has one or two minor flaws. Even Colts.

How heavily do you oil the carrier? I noticed that if I oil mine up nice and good, and cycle the action with the ejction door open, the oil splashes out when the bolt slams home. It leaves specs of CLP all over the magwell and around the ejection port. Maybe that is what they are.
