I did link his picture in my post, but it disappeared?
Dave, I am guessing you did not see the picture. the absence of finish is not from when it was originally finished, Finish has been removed from gas block forward evident of cross hatched scratches. A blue finish applied forward of where the band sat in rear position.
Again not bashing, pointing out what make sense to me. If its any consolation I have a early carbine that was pristine original condition Until the previous owner removed all finish that was exposed. I am guessing to make it look chromed.

I did see a photo but not large enough to show scratches. It did look like there was no finish at all in the shadow area of the barrel. I've never seen a cold blue part before. It sure looks like it came that way, the sharp lettering on the barrel and all. Beyond that, it is a nice pretty complete carbine. I'd still leave it as is. It is just worn enough to be a gun to use and not a safe queen.
