fortune82 Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Has anyone any experience of using this? Is it only suitable for touching up of could you do a full barrel set? Thinking of using it on a bit of a .410 project I have on the go. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRS Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 its **** , but i suppose your not going to listen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smig4373 Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 (edited) If you want to do a full barrel and dont want to spend to much...Use birchwood perma-blue....Its only cheap tho,So dont expect it to last ages.But it is easy to use and you can get a decent finish with it.......It doesn't affect the bluing already on the barrels like supa-blue would....

Why would I not listen? If that was the case I would just go out and buy some and not bother posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortune82 Posted February 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 No worries! I gather you make guns. It has always puzzled me if you make guns at what point does it become a gun an when does it have to be entered onto a SGC? Do you need a special license or can anyone with a shotgun certificate make guns, obviously if skilled enough? Where do you learn how to make shotguns? Where do you buy the raw materials, tools etc?

Bazooka Joe Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Yep I've used it a good few times with mixed results. I done two SxS's recently, one a Zabala 3" Mag, which turned out OK, & still is, & the other a Sabel SxS, at first this was OK, but after a while the blueing just wore off, to the point now it needs done badly. Then again I've done my Bruno Mod-2, & the job to this day is excellent, BJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortune82 Posted February 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 How do you prepare the metal beforehand? Does it need to be polished as well as possible and I presume grease and oil free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, for all above....the more time/effort taken with preparation, the better the finish, BJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuji Shooter Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 My local gunsmith only charges £70 for a set of barrels and when they come back they look like new. The Birchwood stuff is fine if you are just tarting it up to sell on, but if you want to keep it get it done properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
