Rust Blueing

[smoothshooter]

Has anyone tried rust blueing with LMF Browning Solution. How well does it work?

It works exceptionally well.

DO follow their instructions. Rust blue takes a little longer than browning for sure, but it is absolutely worth going that route.

The end product is excellent.

If you end up going with this product "for sure", do a search in some past posts here.

There are a number of "different" methods to (boil the barrel), when you get to that stage.

All of them seem to work and produce exactly the same results.

Rust blue isn't rocket science by any means - just a "kinda slow" step by step to get you to the finished product.

Agreed. I did the rust blue on my GPR a few years ago. Its held up pretty we'll IMO.

That's what I used on this CVA 12 guage double.

The water boil was done with a turkey roasting pan and the barrel wouldn't fit into it so I used a glass measuring cup to dip and pour the water over the center of the barrel. :hmm:

I did the bath method. Used a PCV pipe "trough" and poured the scalding water in. I did go cheap and used two pieces glued together (had them laying around in the garage) but it worked.
