Dalton, I put the blued parts in picante sauce, left them there for about 1 1/2 hours(just check them, longer or shorter time won't matter). When it gets to where you want, rinse in water very well, then put in an oven(low,low heat) just to dry, then steel wool the metal, which will dull the finish a little. Then, oil with Ballistol lightly. After a few loads of BP( wiping the soot in, just be careful of rust. Surface rust is not bad) the metal should turn. Here again I have only done this on "blued" parts.
