Hello...this my first post, and is more of a question. I recently acquired a 7.62 Ishpor, and have broken it down for cleaning. I had an Enfield, long ago, and do not recall the finish. The Ishpor is painted...black (?). Were Enfields also painted, as opposed to being blued? If so, when did painting begin, or were they always blued?
I will repaint the worn areas, though if acquiring another, I may strip it and blue it. Being that it is from the 60s, and not WWII, altering the finish on a second does notseem such a crime.
Thanks for the time!
