Maybe it's just barrel grease cooking out or something?

I've seen a few cheapy Delta rings made out of plastic
It's probably the grease for the barrel threads when the barrel was installed. |

I assembled a sweet AR sometime back, everything was a special matte black...........except a purple friggen delta ring. Guess where that ring came from.

There were some cheap junk kits that had plastic delta rings, plastic trigger guards, plastic buffers.
But the delta ring assembly holds a lot of oil and grease. You did degrease well before painting? The delta ring should be aluminum. If it is all warped and melted when you get it out of the oven, consider it a blessing. Now toss that piece of junk and buy a real delta ring. |

It's done, and everything's fine. Sorry for the false alarm. I did degrease but I was only painting from the FSB forward so that's all I degreased.
