That's interesting to know. Thanks for that.
In the case you described, I agree that the gun was likely laying flat in the sun for a long period of time. If both sides are discolored, then it's likely because they got wet.
Another hard rubber phenomenon that probably wouldn't affect many guns except for high end guns. Hard rubber "out-gasses" and tarnishes silver that it's close to. So a gun that's silver plated and has hard rubber grips would likely see tarnishing of the finish.
Sorry for the thread drift.
