Hello, I want to learn how to blue a gun barrel. Can anyone give me advice on the blueing of a gun
I would appreciate any opinions and feedback. Thanks.
The best way to blue a gun barrel is to use a product like Birchwood Casey Gun Blue. This product comes in a kit that includes everything you need to get started. First, you will need to remove the firearm from the stock and magazine. Next, disassemble the firearm and clean all parts thoroughly with Gun Scrubber or a similar product. Once all parts are clean, reassemble the firearm except for the barrels. Now it’s time to apply the gun blue. Follow the instructions included with your kit, then allow the blued barrels to dry completely before reassembling your firearm.
When it comes time to reapply gun blue, you will need to first remove any existing finish from the barrels. This can be done with a product like Gun Bluing Remover. Once the old finish is removed, you can then apply a new coat of gun blue following the instructions included with your kit.
It’s important to note that gun barrels are not protected from rust by gun blue. Gun blue can promote rusting if it’s not applied properly. If you live in a humid climate or plan on using your firearm in a wet environment, it’s best to apply a coat of gun rust preventative before applying gun blue. This will help keep your barrels protected from the elements and prevent rusting.
