Norrie Posted September 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Hiya, What a nice guy Colin is....he told me to test the brazing/solder whatever, and see if it's a silver colour...well it is..., so, I now need to get hold of Rizzini, and give them the serial number to see if the barrells can be hot blued..as if they cant, and it gets done, the barrels will come apart.. He also tells me that cold blue is NOT up to the job of doing whole barrels, just for scratches etc..:look: So, next step is contact Rizzini... I'll keep you up to speed... :look: Thanks again guys..

Gobfish Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 advice - don't do it! couldn't agree more............. don't cut any corners, have it done professionally ..... unless you want dark brown streaky barrells, in which case go for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprags Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 I have used Outers' Gunslick Gun Blue (Cold) and had good results doing barrels. My first attempt was not too good (on an old Winchester Cooey) but that was my fault for not cleaning the barrels properly proir to blueing. Since my first attempt I have now blued' over thirty sets of barrels for people. All were pleased with the result! Get an old/cheap shotgun to start with and give it a go, it's easy!

welshwarrior Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 I used Caswells ColdOx gave a good finish however if you have just had that artist Straight Shooter do your stock I would get it done by a gunshop or it will never look perfect. JRS used to offer blueing give him a shout top guy really helpful and a true craftsman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazooka Joe Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 advice - don't do it! Agreed. Rick. I did try it once , made a real mess.!! So, my advise DONT. couldn't agree more............. don't cut any corners, have it done professionally ..... unless you want dark brown streaky barrells, in which case go for it I've blued a few guns with Birchwood Casey, & as said in the previous posts, preparation is a must, the more time you spend on it before the application of the blue itself, the better the end result will be. I also find that this blue will make a excellent job on some barrels compared to others. I blued a Bruno Mod-2, & the result was excellent, then again I blued a Sabel SxS 12g, that looked OK for a while, then the blueing started to disappear, it's obviously different steel. I've a different blueing method now, & I'm going to have a test pilot on my ParkerHale Mod in the very near future, see how this turns out. If it's OK I'll blue the Sabel SxS that didn't take the BirchWood Casey. Don't be put off, remember the preparation & have a go, BJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 IMHO Cold Blueing is not as nice as Hot blueing. Cold Ox is great see COSD post in the DIY section I have used it on a 410 and air rifles but with a nice shotgun I would go hot blueing.
