after two hard years of late flintlock, between the various conditions mother nature through at this time of year, i thought it be best to reblue my flintlock barrel. now this does not mean i do not take car of my guns, because i oil them each time i come in from being out, it just looked as though there were a couple of spots that would be questionable and i didn't want them to spread or get worse. i used birchwood casey reblue and it seemed to work surprisingly well. i will post pictures asap.

Is this a cold blue? When I bedded the White .12 shotgun in a couple spots underneath in the lug area the bluing came off and I need to cover them back up. Thanks for the info!

i have cold blued several diferent guns and all of them turned out great, the main thing to remember is to follow the instructions to the letter. also...preperation plays a major part in how your finished job will turn out

thats the secret get it as clean as possible before you start and don't touch the steel with bare hands as the oil will affect the out come
