I've assumed that this means that the conversion varnish would have a bit of dye in it to give the amber effect.

I'll also assume that this means that the binding will be slightly ambered, as well...

WOW! It surprises me that RIC would add am SKU, very cool, but surprising.

I guess the “per se” minimizes the impact of a totally new SKU.

Can’t wait to see what it is!

Sorry ... lets try that again ... this 370/12 FG I own looks a lot like what the Ric website is showing as AFG

One of the reasons I bought it - much prefered over the pinkish FG's as of late.

Paul ,it could be applied differently ,shooting the amber color first then the fireglo scrape the binding then the conversion varnish.

Brian Medway: "Now, what could AFG and AMG possibly mean?

Autumn Fireglo and Autumn Mapleglo? Who knows?

Perhaps it's Amber Fireglo etc. Then again maybe its Antique Fireglo. My brain is overloading!!! So near and yet so far."

Brian wins!

Ken, I'm not sure if you're addressing me, or if so, which pictures you mean...

Bob, Tony's asleep, dreaming carnivore dreams...

So here's a question for Ric and JH ... are there now 2 fireglo colors? or is every fireglo produced in 2006 going to be AFG?
