Was just wondering if there is anything I need to do to maintain the color case hardening, like relaquering it once a year, avoid excessive fondling, etc. Thank you for your imput -Shoot Straight, IM

But seriously, folks, Dr Gaddy did a test or something on this didn't he? I can't imagine the oxides, ferrides, nitrides, ferrets, or any other animals associated with colorcase would be affected by light. Probably just common gunowner paranoia gone wild.
