Ryan,
Welcome to the community. I am from ND and feel compelled to dispel the fake news. Pattern welded barrels are in fact safe here in the Dakotas. Our weather does not affect the metallurgical properties like it does in Ohio. Have fun, ask questions, and enjoy your gun after carefully evaluating the safety aspects of your particular firearm.

Ryan,

Don't be thrown off by the discussion of twist or Damascus barrels. Your gun has steel barrels. Better pictures of the barrels may give a better clue as to whether the barrels were hot blued or rust blued. I think it is difficult to tell by your photos. If they were rust blued then there should be no worry about that aspect.
