Make your own... this is very close to what I was taught in Gunsmithing School in 1966-67.

Where are you located in case you consider making your own?
the hardest part from guntechs recipe link (post 2) is getting the nitric acid, I might be able to get you some if you are in my area.

I may have to try to make my own but prefer

Thanks also to Guntech for the formula

I’ve used Laurel Mtn for rust bluing on numerous rifles. Always turned out great as long as I paid attention to details(polishing, degreasing, etc).

Brownells will ship it to Canada.
