35 Remington Pump Completed
- Thread starter loadnplenty
- Start date
I have played around with a few old 22's with cold blue that had a LOT of rust of them. Refinished with cold blue and got the finish one should expect from it. They went from rusty and functional to functional with no rust lol. I used varnish on the stocks just to cover the scratches. I can't complain though I had $100 in the three of them and had fun playing. Don't remember what happened to them though lol.
This is my first serious project I have taken on my own so to speak.
As a fan of the 760 and .35Rem, I applaud you. Please post the finished product soon.
As soon as I get the action and barrel back I will begin the bluein process.
Thanks for the encouraging remarks so far!!!
Sharps would there be a problem with an aluminum tank to rust blue.
Just out of curiousity and trying to learn, is there a specific reason why on the iron. I have been doing as much reading as possible before starting and have read where some people have used aluminum. Just curious, not trying to be argumentative lol
2 reasons: Aluminum parts are rapidly dissolved by the Caustic hot blueing process and it kills the solution.
With rust blueing, most instruction manuals that come with the products invariably specify steel/iron boiling tank.

Ok thanks!! I should be getting my order from brownells in tomorrow and plan on reading the directions many times
I don't know how I missed this ongoing project over the last couple of days. It looks really good. I think you are going to be really happy with the short barrel. My last project included a 16" barrel and I love the results. Which rust blue are you going to try? Brownells?
