[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 379371, member: 24284"] If the barrel was left in the tank too long , yes, then etching might occur. Blued properly, the parts should come out of the tank as soon as the depth of blue desired is achieved. The operator should then make sure and flush the bore to make sure all the salts are out and then send it into a boiling water bath for 15 minutes or so flushing the bore some more, by picking one end up and letting the water run all the way out. Then to a tank of water displacing oil. Bluing adds no thinkness so it won't increase pressures. Clark, yours sounds more like a Douglas problem than the fact that it's blued. [/QUOTE]
