My close friend just bought a Browning .22 semi automatic. Great little gun, and we can't wait to shoot it. We did the proper research, and got a good price. Before we bought it, we took a buddies out and shot it to make sure that it fit correctly and that she liked the feel. Noticed on his rifle that the end of the barrel was not blued. Did not think much about it as it was an old gun.
Now when we are in the store looking for the best piece of wood on one, we notice that all of the ends of the barrels are not blued. Opened every box they had, all the same. Like they cut it off, crowned it, and left it that way. Just the crown is not blued, the rest of the gun has a nice finish. Counter help was as clueless as we are on this one.
Why does Browning not blue the end of the rifle barrel??
I think all my other Brownings (non SA-22s) were blued on the tip when new.
