. . . dealing with Sauer production, I’m now wondering . . .
It states the barrel and receiver were blued as a one-piece unit.
In talking with gunsmiths that blue weapons in today’s world, they say if they blued rifles like that, the barrels and receivers would rust/bond themselves together permanently . . . . and bluing salts would leech out from the joint for a long time thereafter.
Leaves me wondering how they did that . . . given the K98’s didn’t seem to “leak” the salts from the barrel/receiver joint.
Man-o-man, I’m having a great time reading this book . . . —Jim
