Those lines were a result of “Bulldozing” the hot forged ingot, but I don’t know if ingot is the correct word for the chunk of steel the frame was made from.

I have a couple of 0-frame GH’s that show those lines.

I'd wager those lines came long after the gun was made (assuming I'm looking at the lines you mention).

Nope, the lines were formed in the forging process. Early Winchester lever guns all have those lines.

Not the first wager I've lost.
