Would agree it's been reblued. Not a bad job for the most part, but the pits on the bolt is a giveaway

Can't tell from the pics, however, it is worth $1600.00. Don't know about the trade.

So I just clicked on and was reviewing the comments backwards naturally as they appeared and when I saw the last picture first and the progressed towards the beginning and your introduction thread as the Original poster my first thoughts were "boy that rifle looks like it was possibly re blued and then over polished"! Seriously. The biggest give away was the top of the Bolt on top of the Chamber. The Corrosion due to Black powder or even poor storage, or rough maintenance or a lack their of.(tmitch stated also) Like Levers said the wood it's suspect too! Definitely a Rifle that was doctored up for $$$! Personally it will always be what it is. A fussed with Gun! I'd walk away if it was me, but I am a little particular! It's not worth $1600.00 to me trade or not!
