You could do screws like that but i wouldn't do a barrel this way you might warp it or alter the hardness of the barrel

ill try it I tried cold bluing but it came out patchy I was going to drop the gun blue off to you this weekend but that looks way better

Dead right bro. Its only for small parts and while it is blue it can wear very quickly
