My shotgun had blood on the barrels . And it's removed the bluing. Was before I bought it . Took the shotgun to a shop when I thought about trading it in and the RFD said it was blood from pheasant 's. He knew my boss who I had bought it from and he had sold the gun when new to my boss.
Yep , it removes bluing https://www.dropbox.com/s/2nwdryoca0...41732.jpg?dl=0
take the blood spots off with crocus paper then re blue the spots with bisley bluing.then oil.
next time make sure the rabbit is killed properly so you dont get blood on the barrel.
the only thing i can find wrong is the nut on the steering wheel.
Do those few specks actually matter - surely they're part of the rifle's history?
My shotgun is a 1989 made model if I remember right and there is a fair bit of the bluing damaged by the blood.
I cleaned it with acetone and used Philips bluing gel on it. And that is the result in my pic. Unless the light is in the right angle you don't see it.
It's an old gun and as you say it's part of its history.
Now we know how to strip old bluing .
Every cloud and all that .
