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

I've done some blueing prior to this but I really want this to be nice.


A wise decision. A classic like that deserves no less.
