Hey there everyone!
I came across a Star BM, three mags, original box and booklet at my LGS, for $100 bucks... couldn't let it pass. Shoots and runs great too!
Only thing is the finish is all but gone. So I figured I would disassemble and cold blue it. During the process it wants to wash with water after degreasing. I tried this, and notice that it will cause a bit of "peach fuzz" like rust to form on the surface. So I figure I am doing something wrong, or maybe taking too long between parts that I am trying to blue, as I figured I would do the whole thing.
I always wanted to try the process, and I wouldn't feel too guilty on a $100 pistol.. or so I thought. This forum has always given me good advise and I am hoping to get some now.
Thanks for reading!
