    I’m currently rebuilding/repairing an old shotgun and I was going to do an entire overhaul with a shortened barrel/stock and I really wanted to reblue the metal because it is pretty dang worn. Thanks for your video, seems pretty simple! Love your sense of humor too!

    I’ve completed Oxpho blued a couple firearms. The finish turns out better than most factory finishes. I soak my rusty metal parts in vinegar for a couple hours to remove all the rust and bluing. Then I rub it with an SOS pad and soak in vinegar again for an hour or two. I then wash the metal off in water to neutralize the acid from the vinegar. I then file and sand the metal till all the pitting is gone before I blue. I use a gear gun to warm up my metal. I’ll actually re wet my bluing with Oxpho blue after I applied a coat and let it dry the first time around and then lightly buff it with oooo steel wool. It perfectly evens out the finish. Good stuff!

    @sleeperno1215 Před 2 lety

    I watched this video a while back and then proceeded to reblue two rifles and a shotgun. I was absolutely amazed at the results. I tried cold bluing in the past but I was absolutely doing it all wrong. This method worked times three. My brother was excited to get his firearms back. Originally, he gave them to me to have reblued by a gunsmith. I reblued another .22 Rifle that belongs to my son's friend. It turned out so well, that I felt confident enough to reblue my brother's 870 and JC Higgins Model 30, both of which had accumulated surface rust while in the safe. Everything turned out way better than I had hoped. Great video and great instruction.

    I had a slightly pitted army 1911 with 99% of the bluing gone, I got it cheap because the finish was so bad. This technique really works and the gun still looks vintage but now evenly colored and it did not mar the colt markings, they are still crisp.

    I tryed your bluing method on a rusty neglected 1893 Spanish Mauser today.What a nice improvement compared to what it was.Now I have 3 cracks in the stock to repair before this gun is safe to shoot.Thanks for the video because your method has better results than others I've tryed.Normally I end up with an aged look but not much blue color which was still ok on some older guns but not the desired end result I was after. For the people who are going to give me crap for stripping a hundred plus year old gun.Not all antique firearms can be kept original when left in a storage locker for 8 years in Wi.

      Also keeps your hand oils off the work piece. Allowing the blue to pennatrate better.
      I know he says not to worry about degreaser. In my experience it is a vital step to get an even consistent finish. Using Birchwood casey.

    @patrickslevin6424 Před 6 lety

    That looks really nice, I did a muzzle loader back when T/C made their Hawken kit. I bought one of those and did it the way you did this one. I put it in the oven and pre-heated the lock and barrel. I couldn't believe how nice it turned out. I used acetate to strip the barrel of contaminants then blued, steel wooled, heated, blued and steel wooled over and over until I got the looks I wanted. It's important to oil the metal at the end of the process and keep it oiled, not heavy but just don't let it dry. Seems to seal the blue better.

Turning out really great. Question though about the frame. How would you tackle that? Blue the whole thing at once? First once side then the other? Muzzle end first then the handle end?

If I need it under 180 degrees I just leave it for a few minutes with the door cracked - it's also a fool proof way to melt tempered chocolate when it's humid out, or to dry out stale cereal.

We took it up on a ride on Mt Jefferson and carried the 38 in a leather holster and getting damp over ten days some blue was worn off the cylinder. After watching this master.

    It's been years since I blued a gun, so I looked at You Tube videos to refresh my memory. Yours was better than most. Just one comment: I think I would use a heat gun instead of a stove burner to heat the metal.
