Thread: Blueing bolt handle?

Take the bolt apart (easy as)
Polish the rest of the finish off the finish
Be careful not to remove Material you just want to remove blueing
Once its all a even finish Boil the jug
And drop the part in a cup of hot water
Alternatively a few swipes with a torch
Then put your cold blue on
You get a much better finish With hot material

Other option (not sure if this would be recommended for a jw15 bolt handle as it includes the locking lugs and the heat will some what soffen lugs

Is you carefully heat the part with a Torch until the part goes dark blue
Then quench in oil
You could stop at a dark purple Colour for a case harden look
Which would look quite cool

Im just not sure about heating the part that is responsible for locking the action I don’t know if I would to be honest

But works really well on things like screws and thread protectors etc part that arn’t part of the main function and may Cause a safety Hazard
