Good old Wayne Carlton, if I'm not mistaken he is the guy that discovered how to use a diaphragm to call elk way back in the late 70's It had been kept a secret for a few years then as always the secret got out.
Well when I been Turkey hunting there been a lot of ducks flying low and everything. I thinking about duck hunting it this year. Will they still be there?
I know blue looks great, but it's a P.I.T.A to keep looking new... The underneath Carbon Steel is just waiting for an opening to rust away! Solution, you can reblue like this, or simply buy a Stainless Steel finish gun which are more widely available in long guns than ever, not just handguns.
Tip 1: Heat the steel in your oven set to one of its lowest settings, about 120 degrees F. Tip 2: Use a small spray/misting bottle to evenly apply the bluing solution.
You should try Birchwood Casey's Super Blue, it is double the strentgh and gives a lovely finish, I done the complete barrels of my gun, I am well impressed with it.
I have my stock,,sanded,stained and starting with the true oil. I have a issue though. I see the grain is raised or lifted. Maybe I didnt sand it fine enough. IDK? But im on coat #5 and it just starting to fill in. I am not sanding in between coats,,not sure if I should. I am roughing it with steel wool. I am not sure if this true oil will ever make this stock smooth. If I rubbed a cotton ball across the stock,,it would hang up on the wood grain.
He is incorrect about the "no true rut in florida" There is a "true rut", its regional. Each region has a different time for the rut. He's implying that the deer essentially breed all the time.....def not the case.
I live in Florida, and have hunted here all my life. You are wrong about rattling and using the grunt call. They do work. There is also rut here in the panhandle, which starts about the end of January into February. The average buck??? Yep you are about right...115, 120. You need to check your resources.
I live in an area where iron is very prevalent in the tap water. Rinsing and letting sit for just a minute brought surface rust. Would you recommend distilled water for people who have mineral rich well water?
Great advice. A lot of folks have gotten into the "run-n-gun" mode of turkey hunting, when good old-fashioned patience is the best method for killing big gobblers.
I did this to a savage of mine about 5 years ago. I left it overnight in the shop and it rusted like mad!!!! Its been in the rain, snow and sitting the shop for 5 years now. Just the other day I took a wire brush wheel and removed all the ust from the barrel and action. I also took and cleaned the crud of the nickel plated trigger assemble. I will definitely blue it again once I remove the rust pits and I will do it right this time!
Hi Guys I have ordered your product through Ebay-uk I have to blue off some lock parts but the lock will be mounted on an external hate, how can I preserve the finish ? clear coat or use MER auto paint sealer ?
You may want to try thoroughly cleaning the metal first. This is the point of the process where the biggest difference can be made. Spend some extra time with the cleaner degreaser and make sure to rinse it completely. Hope this helps. If you have any other questions, please let me know.
I tried this product, but my firearm is now a weird dull gray kind of color. I repeated the process 5 or 6 times, and it is still a weird grayish kind of color.I followed the directions to a "T" and never actually touched the weapon with my bare hands. Any advice?
Are you brushing it or how are you applying it. If you are brushing it you may be holdig the brush in one spot too long or putting it on thicker in that area. Otherwise it could be something in the wood or not enough sanding to remove the old finish.
