The finish on my rifles receiver was removed by the previous owner in an attempt at taking off some corrosion. Apparently instead of using 000 steel wool they used fine sandpaper. My question is during the war if the metal needed to be redone would they have blued it or parkerized it? The barrel is a nice dark shiny blue, at least they left it alone. Here's a pic of what I'm dealing with, this is the worst spot but at least they didn't destroy the stampings!
