Also, Chip, the golden color found on the trigger, take down lever and ejector is called "Strawing". It's a means of oxide finishing accomplished by heating to a very specific temperature and quenching the metal.

Marc, It is not necessary to quench straw. Straw is achieved and let to cool, then oiled.
