Rust that is white color? Maybe this is a gun that was used in the drug trade. Maybe cocaine or heroin. Maybe meth. Maybe talcum powder that the previous owner used to baby his baby. I'd send it to Abbie at the NCIS lab, she'll figure it out.Send Lawyers, Guns and Money - On second thought, hold the Lawyers.Comment

When I first shot my Gp100 I noticed a white residue where the barrel attaches to the frame. I contacted Ruger and they said it was excess salts from the bluing process. After cleaning, it has never shown again and the gun has functioning flawlessly since. Maybe that is what you are seeing. I would contact Ruger to see what they have to say.Comment
