Brazed barrels on Belgian guns?
I recently read this somewhere; since I am now the proud owner of a Baker / Folsum Arms double (made in Belgium), I'm wondering if I can have the barrels re-blued in a hot dip tank, or if they still require rust bluing.

FYI, the gun requires new wood, and some other mechanical tuning, so I'm not concerned about collector value. It will be mine until I die anyway, I'll never sell another gun...

Thanks,
Todd

Most are low temp solder and I would not take a chance on salt blueing, besides rust blue will give it the proper color when finished, not the black oxide look of salt "blueing".
