I just received a 223 Stevens barrel I bought on another site. It was bought as unused take off and my plan at that time I did not care about the finish.

Well, things change. This barrel has an excellent finish on it and appears to be new. But, I think the finish is parkerized. Looks good tho. lol

Anyway, my question is if the Stevens 200 barrels ever came with anything other than a blue or SS finish. Not even sure about the SS. Has this barrel been refinished?
