Isn't the theory of those stock lug dimples related to the process Mauser used to blue the guns? Weren't they thought to have something to do with the way the guns were supported while being run through cleaning and bluing solutions?

Some kind of factory rework could help account for the exact font on the barrel restamp... Were there rebuild programs at Mauser?
