Blueing a barrel

[Tom]

Thanks for the reply
I have used Brownells rust blue solution, it came out fine but I would rather see a little blue instead of jet black.

Can anyone suggest a different solution to try ?

Thank you, Tom

Tom, it's your gun so if you don't want it to look as it did when it originally left the factory that's your choice - make it blue... but its value will be somewhat negatively affected by refinishing the barrels incorrectly.

Also one thing to remember about reblueing barrels is that the lower grade guns such as a Vulcan grade should not have the barrels polished to a high sheen before bluing.So that as much of the original striking marks as possible remain.
