I sorta need some other's thoughts on a problem I have run into.
I bead blasted a barrel and tang from my Investarms Hawken using Colonial browning solution. I have had very good results with this product in the past, but the problem I am having this time is stopping it from working. I put 4 or 5 coats on the barrel, lightly carding in between and it came out with a really pretty plum finish just like I wanted. When it got to the point that I wanted it, I washed down the whole works with baking soda and water as per the instructions, oiled and reassembled.
I have been carrying the rifle hunting lately, and after a week or so noticed the finish was fuzzing up with rust again. I carded it down again and coated it liberally with Breakfree. I often wipe down the surfaces when coming back from hunting with a Rig Rag, so the surface is kept well coated. It has fuzzed up a couple times again since the initial instance and I just don't seem to be able to get it to stop working.
Never ran into this problem before....any help here?
