My first go at the Rust Blue method

[4thSBCT]

sweet.

I just started my bluing yesterday for an m70ab2 and carding takes forever, my goal is 10 runs... we'll see if I can get it darker that my AMD that I only ran 3 times.

don't go to dark...my kit was 99% blued and my reciever almost looks darker than my other parts, I found that hanging the reciever in the bathroom and then turning on a hot shower and letting it get some steam helped the rusting process.

And you didn't blue the homemade BB?
What were you thinking?




Looks really good 4th

thanks...I just found that BB laying around in my junk bin...

I'm doing all of the parts, here is what it looked like before I started ...

Looks fantastic. Anyone here ever mill their own receiver? I have access to a few machines of various size, and I've done some CNC milling in the past. Looks like a fun project.
