I've noticed that on some of mine as well. Great question.

(I've always heard that bluing is a form of rust, but that's only a guess at what it could be.)

Could it be old oil that's dried up on the surface? I would wipe it down with gun cleaner and re oil it and then store it in a low humidity environment with a desiccant.
I have I usually oil them to check and see if it still does it and it seems to never clear up
