Hey Mike, thanks for your input ! Hallock, in his new book, says that the military inspectors could reject it even for poor bluing, even if it had passed all of Mausers proof testing. I kinda think this is what happened since all they did was put a commercial toggle assy. in it, removimg the military one, and running it through thier commercial outlet. See Hallock, pg. 136 and 137.
Later........ myky........
