Thank you for posting that. It's quite interesting and he did a good job on what looked like a basket case.

FWIW, Brownells sells a rust blue solution so you don't have to mix your own as the young man in the video did.

Yes, Interesting..you would think he would have strawed some parts...

Thanks rolandtg ... that was very interesting and educational ... I have watched many bluing videos and this one rates amongst the best.

Actually an interesting gun, 1921 Reichswehr contract.

He indeed did not know that the 1921 had some strawed parts, but that can easily be rectified.
