The gentleman from H&H is regulating barrels for convergence and the sights for POI, this would be the final step mechanically. It could be engraved afterwards but it would not be take apart to do so. Barrels can be blacked either before or after blacking, it would just depend upon the situation but I would believe most newly constructed guns to be proofed before blacking.
