1. A method of manufacturing a firearm temperature identification system comprising:
establishing a non-thermochromic design element on the surface of a firearm component; and
applying a thermochromic indicator to all or part of the surface of said firearm component, wherein said thermochromic indicator transmits a temperature signal when thermal energy of said firearm component reaches at least one pre-determined temperature threshold; and
wherein when said pre-determined temperature threshold is met, the thermochromic indicator transmits the temperature signal by becoming translucent thereby revealing all or part of the non-thermochromic design element.
