Which color is the closest to a blued rifle finish? Thanks! Regards, Chuck "There's a saying in prize fighting, everyone's got a plan until they get hit" Michael Douglas "The Ghost And The Darkness" | ||

If you want the rifle to look like it was blued, then get it blued. Sorry, could not resist. Matte black is my favorite. Rip ... | |||

You might think of this. I have it on one of my 600's and love it http://www.kal-gard.co.za/coatings/gun-kote.html | |||

Midnight Blue turned out very nice on my last project in an attempt to copy a rust bluing. ...it is at the smith currently for some feed work. | |||

I have a couple that are Matte Black, most people see it as a Matte blued finish. | |||

I tried it one time, and after some rough use it got pretty scratched up!! A good old world rust blue is still the most expensive at $300 to $350. option, but it will last several life times if done properly..

There is a gun finishing company in Greeneville, TN called CCR Refinishing. They put their "house black" on a 760 Remington rifle barrel and slide bars. The receiver had been rust blued. I couldn't tell the difference. Quick, Cheap, or Good: Pick Two | |||

Thanks all. I think I'm going to buy one of those nice B&C synthetic stocks and just use WD-40 Specialist Long Term Corrosion Inhibtor on the metal (keep my pretty blued rife when I get back and drop it back in it's walnut stock). Here's a link to a corrosion product test from another forum (hope this is allowed). http://forums.outdoorsdirector...ion?highlight=rancid Regards, Chuck "There's a saying in prize fighting, everyone's got a plan until they get hit" Michael Douglas "The Ghost And The Darkness" | |||

Cerakote incorrectly applied is the #1 source of complaints. Not all folks do it right, and even sending it to someone 'certified' by Cerakote doesn't mean much, I'm afraid. Hunting: Exercising dominion over creation at 2800 fps. | |||

I agree I have used a charcoal gun coat and it looks almost identical to a shiny rust blue. | |||

Duckear, That may be right, I know it applies to any other finish I know of..Im old school, rust blue and good wood..its never let me down. The best protection Ive found is a Stainless steel, plastic stocked .338 Win that comes out when the snow is a foot deep in a late Idaho hunt..I can stick it in the snow and gut my elk without worry..
