    Rusty, the barrels would have been rust blued-hopefully they were not hot blued. The trigger guard and forend iron would have been nitre blued and the receiver should have been case colored not blued. Please check with the person who did this work to find out if the barrels were hot blued. If so you may want to have a competent gunsmith versed in SxS to make sure that these barrels won't come apart
