There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

You noticed that to. I thought at first maybe just the lighting when the pictures were taken, but I did notice the difference between the barrel and gas tube.

No Finish
We recently ran an article in the Winter 2011 Journal speculating that they were made that way. It's not no finish, it's some other type of coating. A number of guns in the 400,000 range have been seen like that.
Real men measure once and cut.

Like a silver nitride or something? After all this time we find this out? All this time I thought it was because the park of the time wouldn't stick to what amounts to stainless steel...of the time.

Silver
Don't know what it is, but it's silver gray, not bare metal. These cylinders don't have a smitch of finish in the most protected areas.

Even mine has some finish left, and it's pretty bare.
