Re-Blueing a gun
Hi folks! I've taken on a new project of taking an old rusty 20 gauge and re-bluing it. I found a great kit to do it with too. Birchwood Casey makes the kit and they have kits for all type of firearm projects. The gun had a ton of pitting and rust all over. I was just going to touch up the bluing but when I got all the way into it, it stripped the whole thing. Here is the gun (Remington Wingmaster 870) after I have removed the bluing and rust. Nice nickle barrel. I'll post more pictures after the bluing!

Nice gun for the $$$....
One recommendation. Heat the metal of the gun in the oven before applying the bluing. The heated metal will absorb the bluing
deeper and last longer. You might even want to repeat the process several times.
