Based on what I see on the barrel flats and lugs, it looks to me like it was either rust blued or cold blued. So, there would not have been any compromising of the solder joints. All that would have been done is polishing. So, as long as they were not over polished, there should be no issues. That is where checking out the wall thickness is important.
