Your barrels have also been re-blued. And based on the fact that ALL surfaces are blued (lugs, muzzle and even the cocking hook), I suspect they were hot blued which is an incorrect procedure for anything with soldered ribs. Hot bluing can severely compromise the integrity of the barrel set.

Also, you are missing your extractor retaining screw. You should get that installed as there is nothing keeping your extractor from falling out of the barrel set.
