Default Rem 1894 Barrels

From an E or F grade. Right barrel uses 4 different segments, all mismatched.

Usually pattern mismatching is more common on low grade guns. I have seen some that seem to have original dark bluing or browning over mismatched Damascus or twist segments. This may be manufacturer's work done to cover mismatching. This barrel set, however, was normal age darkened and the stripping and re browning revealed the mismatched pattern.
