As Terry pointed out, later in their production, the Japanese equivalent of the EPA apparently forced SKB to drop that process. However, I thought all of them had chrome-lined bores. I know that gunsmiths without the proper equipment don't like working on SKB chokes.

However, I have a 1961 Stoeger catalog in which they advertise SKB Royals. (Anyone ever see a Stoeger-imported SKB? I never have!) They refer to low temperature solder, so hot blue might not be a good idea.

The barrels were blued, with enough color gone that I rust blued them a few years later. I believe I used Pilkington's solution, and they came out fine. Still have the original bottle, but I'm out of the states at the moment, and can't check the label.
