For a rust blue finish, some taking far less than 2-3 days, and with a minimal anount of equipment, one can reach Brownells at 1-800-741-0015, with a little steel wool and a hot water bath, a beautiful rust blue finish can be obtained with a varity of their products, try: Pilkington Classic American Rust blue, or Dicropan IM or Dicropan T-4, I use these on all soft soldered double barrels and once in a while on older classic rifles and hand guns...and free advice is alway available at Brownells at their tech section....its fun try it.
