No, but I do have a 24" in the blue and I'll throw in a hacksaw, some vinegar, and a pack of 0000 steel wool...

Tennessee,

A friend of mine used to take all of his blue/cc guns down to "in the white" by polishing them with Flitz.  They looked great.

I don't have everything to do it with. Main thing I'm missing is gumption. Who knows? Maybe I'll step in a pile of it and try!

I don't know but I'll bet it would go a lot quicker if you start with a charcoal blue gun!

How about a Henry Big Boy instead? It's completely stock, but it's really smooth. And when it jams, it's not that bad!

I've done several "de-bluing" jobs using Birchwood Casey "rust and blue remover".  Not hard at all and gives it that saddle worn look. Never had a problem with rust and I live @2 miles from the beach.

Good Luck, Pard!
