Canadian C3 barrel length and metal finish

[Brian Dick]

The original C3 barrel length was 26". The finish was black oxide. The much more durable phosphate, (Parkerized), and baked paint finish were standard on the later C3A1. Bill Smallwood said that there were many with a mix of polish and matte blue as Parker-Hale was using all manner of parts they had on hand to do the builds.
