We're creating the rust in a different way to Mr Pottersfield but the rust formation and boiling time is just the same.

The powered wire brush is a bit of a no go for airguns as their actions tend to be a bit more complicated than that of a cartridge rifle or shotgun so I stick with wire wool.


I'm not bluing an action at present, I'm bluing 6" lengths of 12mm hydraulic pipe as a test --- these make excellent test pieces as you can spin them up in a drill to polish them.
Doing a few test pieces is worth trying as it gets you used to the process and also shows up any problems before you move on to a gun --- so far my test pieces have shown that my new heated cabinet is scrap and that I need to build a bigger one.




All the best Mick
Hi Mick I watched the video thanks for the link.
The guy made it look easy with all the right tools and equipment.
What's was wrong with your tank that your test pieces never worked out.
