Franc, the "seamlessness" depends on the skill of the machinist and welder. If the sleeve is tightly fit to the monoblock, there will be very little seam showing on the breech face. If the sleeve is welded skillfully, the seam ground to match the monoblock size and contour, the polish of the sleeve matched to the monoblock, and the alloy of sleeve, monoblock, and weld metal such that bluing/blacking produces very similar color on all three, then the seam will be nearly invisible. In theory, if done perfectly, the seam would, indeed, be invisible.
