Re: Can't agree
I was just over to this fellows home and he was busily cold blueing a Balister Molina .45 all over and I have to say it looked perfectly satisfactory. The blue looked like it would stay on as I could not rub any off and there were very few blemishes that one could point out. If I had picked up this pistol at a gun show with the lighting they are famous for I would assume it had a nice blue. Before he blued it it was virtually in the white, He says he treated it with alcohol and then water then the blueing solution. So there are several questions that would naturally arise apon observing this . Could a pistol be cold blued and passed off as having a regular blue job? From what I observed I believe it is possible. Another is how well will this treatment hold up to vigirous shooting or carrying. This I do not know but I will take this pistol out and shoot a hundred rounds through it and let you know. Please understand that I am not necessarily advocating any of this. It is simply what I have observed during my visits to a friend who does things I do not necessarily agree with. Forewarned is forearmed. Jerry
