I am looking at an Ithaca (1930's) SBT. The barrel has been reblued, but I can't tell for sure if it was rust blued or hot blued. I know hot blueing can damage soft soldering, but I understand it's o.k. with brazing. Is this correct? Were the ribs on the Ithaca SBT's of this era soldered or brazed?
