gun blue
I need some opinons on cold blue for a touchup job on a Winchester M70 Featherweight barrel that had a couple of small areas of light pitting. After I polished out the pitting I tried 44-40 bluing but the blue came out streaky and didn't blend well with the original. I was thinking of trying Blue Wonder but know nothing about it so I would appreciate some opinions.

I tried to redo my ruger p94 and the results look good at first but after a while, it gets a film over it. the film wipes right off and is a orange color. I think i need to redo it. can anyone tell me what would be the best cost effective brand of blue? please email me, i cant check here as often as i wish.

Does your Ruger have a alloy frame? If it does bluing won't take. Most cold blues are not very good and won't last . Try a Teflon or Moly coat like KG Gunkote or Duracoat they will last. The price for us to refinisn your gun in either Duracoat or KG Gunkote would be $100.00 Feel free to call me 423-639-8924 or visit me at www.ccr-refinisning.com 0 -
Strange I would see this here. I am about finished blueing a 1885 Winchester with Plinkington American Rust Blue, from Brownell's. Dynamite job- very deep and hard blue. Stuff is about $30.00 for 4oz. There is enough there to rust blue quite a few pistols. If you are ready to spend that plus the price of a 'carding wheel' and have a little time to spend for a job that should blue about anything, I will share what I know about this process with you.

I have used Belgian Blue for many years with success. Only requires boiling water you put your parts in, take out and swab on Belgian Blue, rub with fine steel wool and repeat until you get it as dark as you want it, usually 3 - 4 times. Gives a satin blue not gloss. 0
