My son has started a refinishing project on a well used M12 20ga shotgun. Has started the rust bluing process on less critical parts, slide and mag tube. So far results look great. Anybody ever do any rust bluing? Any tips or hints?
Amen. I've got an acquaintance who swears his cold blue jobs are as good as hot blue. I cannot for the life of me see that. Just looks like cold blue to me. Of course he likes to chuck his chamber reamers in a DeWalt drill.Jim K said:...I see that some folks have tried to use cold blue with heat and are calling it rust blue, but it doesn't hold up much better than cold blue applied any other way.
