How much bluing would you suggest for bluing an M1 garand?
-
@shootersolutions no sir, not testing, as much as learning the trade. i recently began doing light gun repair. and trying to learn all i can. i do restoration on wood as well as metal. i have recently acquired a Glenfield model 50 bolt action 12 gauge, made sometime in the fifties or sixties before serial numbers were required. i have always cold blued, and i am trying to weigh the pros and cons of hot vs cold. thank you sir. all input is is appreciated.

@jedirifleman ice? ice is a solid and isn't slippery at all. it's actually crystalline and pretty rough ;)

@UnCivilDefence I guess next you will tell me ice isnt slippery ; )

very good demonstration! do you prefer cold bluing rather than hot bluing always or to fit the situation? thank you..

@Firedude911815 To fit the situation is the correct answer, in case your testing me, since there will be situations only hot - temperature wise - hot bluing will do. There will be situations only a truly rugged cold will do, and then there will be a gray area in between where convenience, time and air-quality concerns will all play as tipping factors in the "gray" area.

OK... but why would you be using a container that you can't fit the whole barrel in? Wouldn't it be better to dip the whole thing in at once than do it one end at a time?

@ElmerFuddGun The reason for it is I did not have long enough of a clear container to dip the entire barrel at once.

Water is not a "lubricant".

True. In this application it cleans the sandpaper and metal.
