Hi, After trying to sell the above ( I might have gone over the top with the " Poor " description )
I asked £25 posted ONO, Would have taken £20 posted ???? I did pay £12 for it ? Post is £5 ?
Anyway, I stripped the rust blued finish, This you might find intresting, I use a Rust remover/De- bluer, This gives a perfect finish, with an added bonus, ( If left out it no longer rusts )
I have de-rusted guns sat in the workshop for over a year ! & No rust, ?
The HW 35 Barrel is in very good condition, Here,s a couple of Pics
I now have a couple of options ( Because the barrel is of so little value ) I can try them all !
No 1, I could use a cold blue like the one in the Pic, These give varying results, Some better then others ?
No 2, With a polished finished, These Blacking salts ( Heated with water & cooked for the appropriate time ) Give a very nice finish ( Albeit Black )
No 3, I mentioned on another post, That some " Specialist " guns of mine were blued, Using Heat & OLD Engine oil,
I have to say, This is my favourite finish, A Deep lustre, Long lasting blue,
What do you think, Has anyone seen these finishes to compare,
put Pics up if any intrest ,
Cheers, Ged.
