Repairing the Unique

[rdhem2]

A little remark to Roadracer_Al.  Your cold bluing  problems may stem from the fact you are applying cold rust blue then applying rust remover to the surface.  Use a fine instrument oil after a soft carding of the cold blue surface (rubbing with a very fine steel wool) or even something along the lines of Rem Oil.  Far, far better then WD-40, which is a water displacement-penetrant type product not intended to protect firearm bluing regardless of what other people do.  Show me advertising to the contrary.  Fishing gear, yes, shooting, no. Best cold blue I have found comes from Brownels and called Oxopho or something. Two or three coats applied with a cotton swab and carded down, then oiled. Bingo what a score. Even blues through light oil and dirt, I can not explain that one!

I now turn my soap box over to the next honorable well informed shooter/handloader
