Brian is right and don't expect to see a damascus pattern under the blue. So I would leave the blue on until refinished.

Well, I picked up some gun blue remover at the gun show Sat. and tried it under the forearm as suggested. It did remove the bluing, showing a nice Damascus pattern when it was wet,,but then faded to silver when dried.
Bottom line, I will leave the bluing until the barrels can be properly refinished as suggested. I think it will look great.
Daryl, thought I had everything to start reloading those 3/4 oz loads using 20/28 that you suggested. Turns out I do not have the right bushings and neither did Cabelas or Gander Mtn., so will have to order them.
Thanks all.

Harold;
Call MEC directly or order an adjustable charge bar. They work great and you can dial in exactly what you want. No more bushings when you want to try a new load.
