Rust Bluing

lfid · 01-21-2011, 10:23 PM

probably basic - but these I havent seen discussed anywhere ...

anybody know the best way to protect the barrel bore/rifling/chamber from any damage during the repetitive solution / boiling steps in rust blue process ?

how did dwm achieve the bright interior surfaces that seem to show no overflow of the solution during application ?

what is range of polishing for excellent bluing result - ie say 400 grit paper thru chrome like shine ?

best way to protect orignal proofs and other markings as much as possible ?

thanks
Bill
