Correction: Rec’d an email today from Pedersoli’s offices in Italy. They stated the barrel treatment used is a special Cerakote process.Thank you for the replies. Examples posted here show some models are def having problems with the type of finish applied to barrels.
I emailed ([email protected]) the importer and asked about the browning finish on the Rocky Mtn and Missouri . Coating or rust bluing process… and they said. “ The barrels are blued by a rust bluing process.“
I’d rather buy custom but if I was to buy a Rocky Mtn Hawken I’d redo the barrel, likely rust… adding cost to an already expensive rifle.
