DeCarbonized barrels

[Scott Fox]

Mills, These are from #1416 a Parker Back Action gun.

De carbed barrels on my Remingtons look no different than Vulcan steel but trend more towards black or real deep blue color. Hard to really tell on 140 + year old finish.

And BTW; based on Dave's composition analysis, "Parker Steel" may well be Decarbonized/Parker Plain Steel
