Bluing removal

[Dornfelderliebe]

Evening all. I have been cleaning up an Airsporter action prior to ( hot) cold bluing and cannot get my wet & dry into the nooks & crannies and the writing.
Does anybody know of a substance that will take off the remainder.

Spirit of salts. Its drain cleaner, hydrochloric acid. I use it to strip shotgun action prior to blacking. It's nasty stuff but instant. Neutralise with bicarbonate of soda.

[where's it gone]

A work colleague some years ago, did a fine job by leaving a Theoben Fenman I'd sold him in a wool like lined gun bag in his shed ! He even tried to sell me it back for what he'd paid including the chewed hole mice had done to the Theoben slip.
