The QB79 was looking a little long in the tooth...never did blue the LW barrel I fit to it, and the cold blue was rubbing off the 4130 pressure tube. Have been playing around with rust bluing for a week or two, and when I tore it down to measure a part for another fellow, I started eyeballing the tube.


Finished the barrel around midnight last night, and put things back together this afternoon. Pretty impressed for a first go, looking forward to the arrival of the "store bought" solution to see how it compares.

Not perfect, but a whole lot better than it was.







The .32 is likely to be the next "victim".
