early shotgun receivers were machined from solid blocks or billets of rolled steel.
floor plates, trigger plates and lock plates were no doubt made from sheets of much thinner bar stock.
could it be that the billets of rolled steel were of a different alloy than the thinner bar stock? if so, that could account for the difference in how the case colors developed and appeared on the different parts of the gun?
