Been a while since I annealed (moving etc)

I don't remember brass turning out silver/gray at the neck.

This is 3X Fired, uncleaned, annealed by AMP. Nothing to be worried around?

(If its fine everyone laughs and I'm a worry wort, If it isn't I blow myself up as my luck would have it)

If I don't get gray discoloration I get worried :)

Actually, you may or may not get depending on brass cleaning/prep. I recently had some atrocious looking brass that got that way because I left it wet for a little too long and it got badly tarnished. I ended up running it through my dry tumbler with a little bit of polish added in. It did not change color for that firing.
