They are not dark blue,they are black painted.They just look as blue because of the contrast during making photo.Most of BRK M79s made in the year 1990 were black painted with cap of the body and handle painted in standard yugoslavian grey-drab or in dark olive-drab colour.I think that the reason for that was deficiency of standard yugoslavian grey-drab paint in depot of the factory "Slavko Rodić" in Bugojno in former yugoslavian republic Bosnia and Herzegovina.You see,the factory "Chromos" located in Zagreb,the capital of former yugoslavian republic Croatia was the main producer and supplier of standard yugoslavian grey-drab paint.The war in Croatia started at the end of 1990,and the war in Bosnia started two years after.So in 1990 Chromos stopped to supply yugoslavian military factories with that paint.At that time the situation in Croatia was taut,and in Bosnia it didn't.So the factory "Slavko Rodić" which was producing BRK M79s probably used black and other localy made shades of olive-drab colour in shortage of standard yugoslavian army grey-olive paint produced in Croatian "Chromos".
I hope that I helped:neutral:
