    Rust Blue/Nitre Blue

    One of my back burner projects has been a Bubba'd sporterized Kragicon I bought 8 years ago that has been sitting in the back of the safe waiting to be saved.
    Finally got around to starting on it.
    In the process of restoring it to original configuration, (or as close as is possible to get) I learned how to do rust bluing and Nitre bluing.
    If there is enough interest, a thread can be made for each.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.
