Thread: Carding wheel for rust blue process

Interesting

I have been thinking of doing rust bluing. Starting on my old 512 Remington .22. I also have an old Mannlicher Schoenauer that I want to try rust bluing later.

I prepared the solution of Nitric acid & hydrochloric acid dissolving degreased steel wool in it. I've been watching Youtube for years.

The rifle has a lot of surface rust and pits that I have struggled to clean off. Despite all efforts to sue 240 grit paper, steel wool, carding wheel etc. I have still not managed to get rid of the pit marks.

I would appreciate any PMs and an opportunity to correspond with people who can help me through this.

The rifle has been sitting stripped and on the bench for 10+ years. LOL
