Remington Repairs during WW2

[B. Dudley]

I know that the late remington made guns were bone charcoal hardened on all of the parts except for the top levers which were cyanide colored. As they were supposedly having issues with the levers warping with bone charcoal.

I would not think they would have varied from that process at that time with service work. But I wiuld not be able to say for sure.

I have a late 20Ga VH that has Cyanide colors on the forend iron and latch as well as the toplever. Also no label on the barrel rib.
