[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 2743153, member: 7157"] That didn't stop the rebuild depots from cranking out rifles with refinishes that were plum colored (the result of refinishing over an existing finish, usually in the late 1940s), blotchy gray, or very thin. The order of the day was to get them out there, especially during the Korean conflict, ASAP. Niceties such as a pristine finish weren't too important :wink2: [/QUOTE]
