anyway to re blue a barrel without taking old finish off an polishing

[averageplinker]

I've been searching t'interweb for £50 note seeds, simply plant, water and a lovely £50 note bush will bloom and fruit twice a year!

I have some, they are £500 for a packet of 10. Anyone interested?

G96 gun blue creme can work very well on older guns.

It's worth a go on the area in question.
If you don't like the result you can send it off for the full treatment.

Do follow the instructions carefully- don't just slap it on.

Unlike other cold blue treatments it doesn't wipe off when properly applied.

I can vouch for this stuff. I use it on antique arms too, to good effect.

Just paint it with hamerite for a long lasting finish that will require no maintenance...

...now we're is my coat

Thanks

Just painted it now as I had a tin of it in the cellar so far it looks very black, hope these brush marks don't stay and that I can remove the paint from the cocking mechanism

.Yeah Think I need to fetch my coat too

Hammerite is good for mimicking the lacquered finish of some vintage airguns but you need to keep cutting it back, like you would when painting a car. You'll end up with a mirror finish.

Just for clarification hammerite paint is going nowhere near this rifle, hammerite in my opinion is limited to fences and gates.

Selling at cost, are you?

IMHO while no cold blue will ever last as long (or, perhaps, even "last") it's ideal for what you need it for, as long as you accept that you will need to re-apply every so often.

The really, really important thing is that you must degrease very thoroughly.

cheers guys Im going to give the G96 creme a go and I don't mind re doing after a while it if needs to be touched up. anyone have any suggestions to a suitable gun de-greaser then?

this & with some cold blues I've found warming the part first to about 70deg c helps get a much longer lasting finish.
