What exactly is the purpose of lengthening the forcing cones on a 28 gauge?

Back to the OP's question, Note the degradated border where receiver meets forend.

Bob, the pic's not sharp enough for me to see what you're referring to. Any way for you to clear it up, or highlight the areas you're talking about? What do you mean by "degraded border"?
Thanks, SRH

Hey Stan, How are you? Hope your family is well.
I just enlarged the sellers crumby image.
Look closely where the receiver meets forend wood.
Definitely not blue.

I'm fine, Bob. All the family is, too. Thanks for asking.
I can see the discoloration now. Is that a telltale sign of salt problems? With that amount of discoloration would you expect to see pitting where the the forend iron meets the wood?

Some guns had Salty Buttstocks, some a Salty Forend, some both. Wood sometimes changed color, finish bubbles, burned edges, depending how "hot".
Anywhere metal met wood, again depending how hot, rust ensued. If your ever curious, look at the escutcheon on the forend or pull a screw out of the buttplate/pad.
It really never sleeps.

The inside usually looks a lot worse than the outside. Art's website shows a lot of information about salt Brownings.
