G grades were most likely fitted w/ Damascus Bbls. But were sometimes found w/ Royal steel Bbls. From what I can see they look to be Damascus, probably blued/browned over.

Gave up on anti seize many years ago, clean, lube threads, and apply teflon tape to breech plug threads. Stops gases from working into threads. Plug comes out with ease, no more carbon in threads to...

Wow, H-5066, shot up the last of that many years ago. Also good for keeping the "skeeter" away!
