Another tech question for the experts

[Chris T.]

Were the outer edges of the barrel flats always white metal like the lug, or did they sometimes have blue on them? Usually bluing on that part of the flat is a dead give away for a refurbished set of barrels, but did they ever come from the factory that way?

Thanks,
Chris

not reblued.

Some are, some aren't.
