Default fxo mag

Hello grappa, I believe all fxo mags were salt blued, and a dark blue at that... policeluger might be the fellow who would know, as his bluing is excellent, and has been great for all my needs... I don't think the type of blue is as important as the metal prep before hand... you have to find a way to strip the old blue without altering the cold forming lines and striations that occured when they were made... also, removing the follower button is usually the end of the mag as we know it, as you don't want a blue follower??... Takes a special set of tools to get it right, even most of the time... best of luck to you, keep us posted on your results... til...lat'r...GT
