Gold coloured bayo's

[Timberlord]

What is the gold colour from ?
Cosmo tarnish ?...some kind of anti rust agent?
Is it part of the arsenal refurb ?

If you do a search you should find several threads that discuss this. Whatever it is, they do look kinda cool....

 

[Dj_Squelch]

Because the search function here sucks let me sum things up for you:

NOBODY KNOWS!!!

Honestly if you go look it up there are a lot of theory's out there but nobody can say for sure.

It's from being plunged into yellow-livered capitalists...
Or that's what Kung-Foo-Cius said.
PP.

I'm waiting for dealers to charge extra for these like they do the silver bolts vs painted bolts.

I have small discoloration on mine where either cosmo or that thin almost CLP like oil the rifle came in was for a while. Looks like a drop of oil that was slowly moving down under gravity.

some gold bayos are just cosmo but some are a coating am guessing anti-glare? I have seen it on chinese spike bayos too, I scrubbed it off one thinking it was cosmo "dumb me"

Dealer are WAY ahead of you. Do some searches. Gold bayo costs more than non. Which is ridiculous.

Not at Leverarms. You can get non-refurbs, almost new with gold bayo, to first class silver bolt/bayo, blued steel refurbs all matching, to absolute dogs with painted metal, black bolts/bayos repaired stocks non-matching...all for the same low price of 199 bucks. The key is patience and knowledge of what to look for. Mail order from them is a gamble but I know some have been lucky.

makes sense to me

Well I am in the market for another SKS so it is a toss up between Lever and whatever Marstar brings to the table.

i receive mine like this also it whas line oil or some type of wood finish it clean with accetone easly bang! bang!

 

[Dsiwy]

If anyone has a shinny gold one I'll trade you a silver

I am almost 100% the gold color is to cut down on glare. Just like the plum color SVT bolts and blued SKS bayos.

 

[lone-wolf]

Maybe I'll spray paint mine gold.
You know, to increase the resale value

LMAO I dont even think the real ones are worth anything. Just one of the many ways the soviets refurb them, I just want it to have in my collection.
