The Czickness XI: Fulcrum Trigger Blues.

[Birds Away]

Morning Mr. Wizard and thanks for putting the original disco back in my S/N. Did she come out of surgery okay?

 

[Birds Away]

I am really disappointed in these results. I guess I got my hopes up too high on this one.

 

[cobber]

Yeah, I actually think Cerakote is the way to go if it is badly pitted.

This is the worst section, the rest is really just more like light crazing. What about a brass brush in my dremel, or would that remove the remaining bluing?

I have no experience with such things but it seems like it would.

Back to normal!!

That would most certainly remove all of the remaining finish. I would have to see it in person, but it may not be all that bad. A refinish is most definitely in order if you want it to look right. Might be able to get away with a blasting and some files depending on how deep the pits are. Like I said, I know nothing about the bluing process if that's the direction you are leaning.

Try bronze wool and light oil.

 

[cobber]

Thanks for the suggestions! I did a light sweep with copper chore-boy and oil, and that's all for now.

I'll think long and hard about refinishing.

Cerakote give you a lot of options and most of them really look great. Here is one in Midnight Blue.

 

[GregD]

And this one likely looks beautiful.

BA, that is one of my favorite guns you have. I love the way that looks almost like old school deep rich bluing.

 

[Birds Away]

Thanks, T-D. Under most light conditions it looks black. You have to get it out in sunlight to see the blue.

Wow, fantastic range trip with 88 this morning! The Dan Wesson he bought is really something special. For the price, it's hard to beat. Best of all, look what followed me home:

 

[Birds Away]

Very nice, WTB. Congrats.

 

[T-DOGG]

My P-01 will have a new look tomorrow. I'm stoked.

Cool, can't wait to see it.

 

[RustyHornet]

Can't believe you actually found someone willing to do that for you.

 

[wtburnette]

Very nice, WTB. Congrats.

Thank you sir, I quite dig it

As you should. Beautiful gun.
