It may have been removed from sniper duty and reblued at some point and then had a subsequent refurbishment later on.Bufford wrote:Thats what I thought too, its just on the barrel end where it meets the wood of the hand guard and stock. Also found that the plum color might be due to some kind of contamination's in a re-bluing process but that does not explain why the color is also present at the covered over screw holes for the removed scope does it? Any ideas on this?
