I am thinking about refinishing an old mossberg 22 and was wondering what the best bluing method would be. Has anyone tried blue wonder or Dicropan im from brownells.

I've used the OxphoBlue and had good results. Even color and easy application. Iy's not as durable as aa hot blue but better than Dicropan IM.

Oxpho Blue Creme, great stuff, because it doesn't evaporate on warm metal it's real easy to maintain an even finish.  ;)
