    You have a 'solid black finish with freckling' - and that's straight off the internet.

    The originals had that too, you just got a lot of 'freckling' - you lucky bastard

    Never seen a 'case hardened' barrel, or even a pretend 'cased' finish on a barrel, or even a B/A reciever come to that - but those slab sided actions often got 'tarted up' with them - so I expect it might be cosmetic.

    And 'johnduxbury' might have got it right - might be nickel steel which can make it difficult to apply a quick 'finish'.
