Curtton was looking into it, but I have not seen a post yet as to it's exact reason.
We have seen 3 different ones, gold, silver, and bead blasted.
Silver is natural metal colour as polished or satin finished; or in white as also called.
Bead blasting is another common manufacturing process for military equipment, natural colour but matte to cut reflections. I have seen black oxidized or blued, but never golden. Are you sure you can't wipe out the gold tint with mineral spirits? I suspect it is a petroleum based rust preventative that hardened due to age.
Not normal for a military gun.

I am not sure exactly what is, but there are only a handful of them in the shipments. They could be original bayonets that have gotten a tarnish finish from the protective oils or cosmo that they have been covered with for the last 50+ years. It looks like if I took steel wool to it, I could take it off and make it shinny.
Like I said, there are not a lot of them out there and it was one of my criteria, as they seem to be more rare or original bayonets.
Like I said the golden coating is hardened rust preventative. As it is not normal finish, I can't see any value to it to be that sought after. I would clean it as the rest of the gun.
I would not clean though one with a RED finish

He means can you cycle the action with out cocking it? Like pulling the trigger while closing a bolt action gun.
When you cycle the action, it sets the firing pin. Then you have to dry fire to make it inactive. I have not tried it myself, but on most guns pulling the trigger while cocking it does not make them ready to fire and no dry firing is necessary. I will have to try it.

On my CZ if you release the action while holding the trigger, it does not #### the firing pin and is the fired position...
I noticed this when I first recieved this /50 Russian, it cocks the action, regardless if the trigger is pulled in or not , as soon as you release the trigger it will fire as soon as you pull the trigger again !! ??

please note, the russian came with two types of trigger groups . type 1 was from 49- part 52 . type 2 was from part 52 -56 .
you can tell the two apart by rise between the trigger guard and the mag catch . later i may add pics of the differences .
its in my sticky E13.
