[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 1022612, member: 2011"] I used a slow rust blue process about 45 years ago. The first attempt was to blue my 270 Win. Beautiful very dark blue with a nifty matted look. Lasted about 20 years. I then used the exact same process and went complete I hit it with a very soft stainless brush wheel. It turned the most beautiful dark brown with many highlights. Was mat and no glare whatever. I doubt homeland security would allow purchase of the chemicals. The druggist was quite concerned I wasn't going to poison myself or anyone else...... Sorry the paper the formula was written on dissolved. If I could find a good chemical mix I'd definitely do it again. Go for it. [/QUOTE]
