    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

    I use oxhpoblue with excellent results on bolts that I modify. It will not affect stainless. Likely the welder used stainless filler rod.

    Not a fan of welding. too much heat on the cocking ramp.

    Hi @HCohen97, welcome to the NZHS forum, he hasn't welded any where bud, just filed down handle for bolt to clear new scope fitted, JW15 is a Chinese copy of older Brno Model 1 .22RF .

    You should put some posts up about what you use to hunt with in Poland & game hunted, many would be interested I'm sure ?
