Any idea why?
It seems topical, all the visible joints are very thin lines of green that seem to sweat.
Barrels do not appear to have been reblued at all so I am inclined to rule out hot salt...could something in the vintage oak/canvas/leather storage case be causing this?
No rust on the steel.
Thank you,
Mark

Mark:
The brazing is probably bleeding, (just like cleaning brass items) from the cleaner being used, such as Hoppe's or whatever.................clean very good but gently with acetone and a 'new' small brass brush (Home Depot), lightly cleaning off the green residue.....................let dry and coat with EEZOX.........that should solve your problem there Mark..and continue to use EEZOX instead of brand X............bowensoutdoorsupply.com
Cheers,
Doug

Assuming it's a dovetailed barrel set, it wouldn't hurt to remove the extractors and clean that hole...
Take the screw out first.
