^That's what it means. When some of them went back through and were arsenal refurbished, they blued the bolt, bolt carrier, and bayonet. Probably to gut down on potential reflection of sunlight that would give away a soldiers position. If you find a Russian that hasn't been refurbished, the bayonet will look like other makes such as Norinco.
