Big...I had two steel fin Fox .15's and while I haven't seen one in several decades, my lingering thought/opinion is that the cylinder fins were 'finished' by burning a coat of oil onto them. I believe this is also a gunsmithing technique, older and cruder than actual 'bluing'. The McCoy's, K&B's, and Max III's were black oxide, I think. But possibly gun blued.
Speaking of which...I once was involved with making a part for Boeing that was required to be "gun blued until black". Not "black oxide", but gun blued. An interesting prospect...none of the area's metal finishing specialists did gun bluing. None of the gunsmithing shops could provide the required 'certs'. Hmmm. I'm thinking that we got a gunsmith to do it, and hand write a note that told what he did and how he did it, temp, soak time, solution type, whatever, on his letterhead. Still seems goofy.
