    Home ‘bluing’

    I’ve a 22 that has had the outer part of the barrel sanded ( rather roughly!) by a previous owner.

    I’ve sanded it smoother to the point it looks like a stainless barrel.

    Is there any finish I can give it that’s presentable and durable?

    Bearing in mind in this Level 3 environment I won’t have access to much in the way of chemicals etc!
