Thanks gnoahh, I'll keep that in mind. It's a project to make a classic style full length stock Mauser on an Argie action with refinements like a good single set trigger that don't really fit classic but tickle my fancy. Project startd but life intervened. Someday...

I've got the old Neidner formula and rust bluing process around here somewhere, as described by Shelhaemer I think, and oh my what a fear of the slightest trace of oil in getting the"panther piss" to strike. It's a nitric acid based concoction, ask for that and you're immediately under suspicion as a bomb maker these days.
