Effects of Rust Bluing on Damascus and Twist Barrels
With the number of Damascus and Twist guns that have barrels that have been completely rust blued, is there an effect upon the metal that damages/weakens the barrels or is that an old wives tale? Can they be brought back by removing the blue and then finished correctly? I would think the finish is just on the surface as it can be removed or wear off but others say the rust-bluing penetrates and weakens the metal.
