Do you mean to say
refinish?
As they came from the 'factory' in Meriden the Peerless and Whitworth barrels were more highly polished than Acme and Titanic. The Parker Special Steel, Parker Steel and Vulcan barrels were very nicely done but striking marks were plainly visible under the fine rust blue of new barrels.
Remington barrels, on the other hand, were nicely filed and polished and had virtually no striking marks at all but the rust bluing process was different than the Meriden process and produced a duller or coarser luster to the finished product.
