Removing dip blue

How old are you? I was just wondering if you had the time to remove blueing with super-fine steel wool. If you're in your teens, you might make it by retirement if the gun is small. Seriously, fine steel wool is used with solvent to clean rust from blueing without removing it. Even dry it really doesn't scratch the blue. There are chemical products that instantly remove any kind of blueing. They usually contain phosphoric acid, are advertised as rust removers and are available at hardware stores and home centers.
