How to strip bluing?

[7x61]

Over many years I have used the stuff in the little bottles from Birchwood Casey, the big bottles from Brownells, and one day looked at what it was made from. Hmmmm... CLR has the same stuff in it!

It's all I use now Mind you, I ONLY do pistols, so a bottle goes a long way (and you can use it over and over...)

I recently blued and refinished the stock on my winchester Model 62.

Id recomend a kit by Birchwood Casey. the kit I bought cost $37.99 and it includes Blue and rust remover, Cleaner-Degreaser, Gun blue, wood stain, Stock sheen and conditioner, tru-oil gun stock finish, and all the stuff you need to apply it. the only thing you need to buy really is some diffrent fine grits of sandpaper. It also has complete and easy to follow instructions.

there are many kits available so whatever combination you want you can get and not anything you dont want.

this kit also has enough stuff to do multiple guns as well.

When I moved out to BC I guess the case had somehow gotten wet and the inside was all damp so when we took it out the gun was horribly rusty like really bad and this package took care of everything and it's good as new now.

"...To remove the blue you have to remove metal..." Nonsense. Any rust remover will do nicely.

I sand to 1500 grit.Brake kleen to reduce to bare metal,rinse with warm water,reapply cold blue.Works so far.

hey guys... will CLR remove parkerizing too??

"...remove parkerizing...' Doubt it, but there's no need to remove the old finish before you re-parkerize.
