nobby63 Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Hi Guys,Been buying a second hand rifle and although its condition looked good, it had a brown shadow apperance over the blueing ? Using a piece of white cloth and solvent I began rubbing the barrel and there it was a brown like rust colour ? but did the last owner use anything that might make this impression of rust, a grease or something ? Anyway this is where it all went drastically wrong ! I had decided to go ahead and put rusteater over the barrel so as to make sure the nasty stuff does not get any worse ( bad move ) Within minutes the gun blue started lifting and ended like this, nice and silver with no rust so as not to panic out came the birchwood paste and the start of reblueing and after three coats ( walla ) its all turned out OK looking like brand new!! So if you want a Quick blueing removal in minutes using a brush, this is the stuff you can buy from most auto motive stores. Still dont know if it was rust as the barrel was mint silver ! but im sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paolo180 Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Hi, barrel bluing/blacking is a rusting process that turns the barrel black. Looks like you've done a good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
