Can someone explain what "arsenel refinished" means? Is this like just cleaning up slightly or rebluing etc?Thanks

    It depends on which gun you are talking about.For USGI firearms, the gun was completely disassembled and most metal parts were parkerized. When it was reassembled, some parts were replaced with new or used parts, as needed. Wood parts were reused, refinished, or replaced. An arsenal stamp was usually applied to the wood or metal.Foreign firearms are refinished by several methods, such as bluing, dipping, or spray painting.Neal
