I bought Mark Lee express blue from Brownells. I mostly use it on cartridge guns, creates a beautiful blue. This rifle was only blued a bit to give it an antique look.

We recently ran a comparison of Mark Lee Express Blue, Mark Lee Express Brown and a number of other formulas. The Mark Lee products were a top performer. As a side note, the two Mark Lee offerings appeared to be the same product with slightly differing instructions. Also, although not mentioned on the accompanying instructions, much more detailed instructions are available online. I recently blued a Ross sporter with Express Brown with very good results.

I agree, i used to use Belgium blue but when Brownells wouldn’t send it north I switched. Mark Lee is the best product I have found so far.

I took the Kibler to the range today. I added a lollipop peep sight, now I can see nicely. Seems to shoot well, this is 6 shots at 50 yards.

Don't think I would be complaining about that.

No complaints here. Any deviation in that group is all on me. The new sight helped a great deal.
