Rust Bluing Chrome Moly...OR How to waste an entire day

[Gippeto]

I'm sure you've heard of these and more, but in the event....these are the more popular ones I came across during my research on the subject.

Aside from Pilkingtons, Radocy, Birchwood Casey brown, and the Laurel Mountain brown,

Gun Goddess..made up by a fellow Jim Baiar in the US.

Also Herter's Belgian Blue (also called Arts Belgian Blue), and Mark Lees Express blue.



Have my iron chloride almost ready. Still eating at the steel wool a little. Am on course for another week end yet and studying to do every evening...no time to play around with it.

If I come up with something reproducible that works well on 4130, will let you know. Have a couple tubes that need doing myself.

Hey on the subject of alternate suppliers. Do you have any experience buying from the independents? The trouble is shipping. Brownells is basically a bust now because of the ORM-D regulations in the states.
