New AV 46M Showing Wear On Charging Lever Already

[Dale O]

I don't remember my IZH 46M showing this wear. Of course that was 20 years ago and my memory my not be correct. But less than 100 rounds and the bluing is wearing off already on my new AV 46M. Anyone else seeing this on theirs?

As I responded on your other post, Dale, my IZZY has 15,000 pops since it came to me.
I have the same issue and I try to keep it greased up.
When it first started doing it, I tried to touch it up with Birchwood-Casey touch up but, finally resigned myself to just using grease.

Mine has the same marks in the same place. Over 10k pellets through it an it's running fine.
