Thanks to all on the feedback to my question on, "freshening up" Luger shooters!
As for the actual bluing itself, I am hesitant to get too far into it as you very soon come under the scrutiny of the EPA, and I have already had some past dust ups with them when I managed a Mobil gas service station? And, long story short, all of us together haven't the resources to battle them guys, especially if you're going to be an example to others. But, I have been in touch with a vendor on the west coast that does and excellent job for a very reasonable fee. Especially when I send him pre-prepped parts... Again, the straw, I can do myself, the fire blue I can do as well... Welding is always trouble, but I have some very good sources for that as well, both TIG and Micro....
Last but not least... time? Jerry and Don are correct, the drum magazines keep my schedule full... even at night... I am thinking about taking on one shooter and just see what is involved logistically and final expense?... best to all, and thanks again for the feedback,
til.....lat'r.....GT
