I think you will find that they won't blue with hot blue procedure that work on other guns . Any Winchester Post 1964 lever actions won't normally blue . Winchester used to refinish them if you sent them in but that ended years ago . It has to do with the metaurgy used on the actions . All other parts blue normally. Jim
Thank you for sharing that knowledge. (post more stuff)
I have a 94 that was made in the early 70's and when the bluing needed to be redone that is exactly what I was told.
The receiver could not be re blued, but any thing else that was could.
The guy did a case hardened finish which has mostly worn off so if I get it redone I will probably have it cerakoted
