Thanks again! I'll be using a commercial product for the bluing and the safety/PP gear as noted. Definitely a face shield for the wire brushing so's I don't wind up looking like a porcupine!
I had Duracoated one rifle with their "Blued" color and it looks nice - except that it looks like paint! So it's in for a trip to get that stuff blasted off when I get ready to rust blue it.
best,
Steve
