I'll begin a YouTube marathon, and be thoroughly confused in short order, and I'll probably make it harder than it needs to be, but ... any and all advice/tips welcome!
Anyway, I found out vinegar removes bluing.
Had a small rust spot on the underside of the 930 security barrel I just installed my XS Big Dot sight on, and thought, "vinegar removes rust!" Put a kleenex on it with vinegar, then went to shower and shave. Ooops. Big old brown patch now. I slathered it pretty well in Birchwood Casey Barricade for now.
It doesn't need to be super pretty, it's a working tool, but I'd like it to not look like s4it. I've seen Brownells Oxpho Blue, Birchwood Casey Super Blue, BC Perma Blue, and several other products. Any notable differences? I have a heat gun and don't mind using it, but I don't want a super involved process, either.
And should I tough up or do the whole thing? Here is what the damage looks like.
