Does Traditions ML kit have a blued barrel?

Most kits come with the hardware "in the white" (not blued). A couple of reasons for this. 1. It is cheaper to produce. 2. You can either finish in blue, or "plum". Many of the old flintlocks and caplocks were originally in plum finish. 3. Since it is a kit, you have fitting to do, and stock sanding and finish. Bluing the metal is part of the fun.
