Rust Bluing

I would try a Belgian Blue like Herter's or even Brownell's Classic Rust blue. These both have a nice blue black look to them with not as much black.

Laurel Mountain Forge is very easy to use and gives good results, but it's not very "blue" either. The old Angier/Dunlap formula is a moot point.... you go try to buy nitric acid without having Homeland Security or the ATF come down or your butt!
