Yes another Bluing Question
Has anyone used Brownells Classic Rust Blue? it's a might cheaper than Pilkington (that I use) and Rust Blue American.
If not, maybe I'll try it on the Ishapore .410 Musket I ordered from Century Arms just to see how it works out. Well that is if I don't Parkerize it though. Could try it on one of the Remington 511's I have too I suppose.
heating parts for oil quenching
I did not not heat the parts too long and when dropped into the oil there was alot of smoke.
The ejector housing and loading lever block were low grade steel.
Also tried the same thing on a M1 rifle gas trap front sight that I made and the oil quenching also worked out quite well and appears to last for years
