yeah say what you want. they come from the factory without being cleaned after firing there.

Care to post a few interior barrel shots of your model 66 revolvers? im starting to believe the only part on my barrel that isnt blued is where they machined the forcing cone.

mind you im ony familiar with stainless rimfires.
 
Barrels factory blued in the bore are fairly common; it doesn't matter one little bit, not even a "smidgen".

So is the problem that it's test fired and not cleaned, or blued inside the barrel?

Not a problem either way, IMHO.
 
it makes it awhole lot harder for screwy eyes to differentiate between copper fouling, blued barrel, and lead buildup.

Unless you have a borescope, it is difficult to tell if your fouling is copper buildup. The standard test is to run a patch of bore cleaner thru or brush bore cleaner thru the barrel and wait. Then run a patch thru. If the patch is green, you have copper.
 
its slightly obvious that when you soak a patch in #9, run it through a 6 inch barrel, and it comes out the other end BLACK and all the excess running out the barrel is BLACK its copper.
