I gather Homer it was not an after market bluing but possibly done on 5/44, thanks for the appreciation of it with the "if I get sick of it................." but I will politely say "No Thanks" Homer I sorta made a promise to Terry and even though he has passed I still feel obliged to keep the promise "Not to shoot it" even though he has been gone 2 years now it just would not sit right with me.
I have tried to put a .300 gauge into the muzzle and there is no way known its was going it I think the .295 may have gone in very snugly I mean I did it when I first got it home which was like 8 years ago......geez the last bit sounds like got up to shenanigans with the wife better stop there...................
