[QUOTE="3chester, post: 2344516, member: 99983"] Well ya can't blue over rust. So best thing with that rig is a new sheet of 3M 320 silicon carbide paper. Tear off a small piece of that paper, N fold er over til ya have a nice size to fit where ur working on that sight,barrel rusD spot.Dampen a paper towel with water and keep wiping away the sanded off rust.the small affected area should be bare metal shiny clean. Use clean sandpaper.Use an alcohol wipe to make the area to blueD, and a bit of the surrounding area , oil free. Then Brownell's Dicropan T-4, or their 44/40. just let it set for 5minutes, wipe it off with clean water. Repeat several times with the blue and it'll match a Ruger 77 perfectly. When ur close to color, 4/0 steel wool it a bit . when you like the blue/black match, oil it well, and no one will ever be the wiser. [/QUOTE]
