Nitre Blue Question...
« on: January 12, 2011, 12:38:05 PM »
   I have a Browning A-5 Semi Auto Shotgun......  I have it stripped down ready for reblueing and I came across Nitre Blue Method. I know this method is usually used for Small parts because of its High Heat Method, Will i be alright to dip the receiver In the Nitre Salts as well (because i really like the color of this method). Or should I Go with a traditional method like Belgian Blue?.........Thanx for your help!

I would not alter the 'temper' of the receiver by applying that much heat. Nitre salts have almost exclusivelt been used for small parts..

Hey Tiger;
   Glad to see you are back at working on civilian guns as well.  I just felt moved to jump in here and make sure you are working outdoors or in well ventilated conditions... with breathing protection..   Gramps
