Note that the high points lack finish

If you roll a bunch of barrels around before packaging, you will get that very effect. No sweat, it's gorgeous...

Mark,

I think you're correct but manual function at assemby, proof firing and initial targeting would do that. "New" rifles also show copper in their bores from this too.

Nice rifle.
