Posting for D'Arcy:

Testing out a new Rust Bluing procedure, seems to work pretty rapidly. Yet another use of the pickup truck bed. The 1st carding is going to require some extra elbow grease.

Steam them; they will blue, but might have a really matte surface.

If the pick-up bed is already rusty, is that better or worse? There is some perforation; better or worse? This is a Savage 110 barrel, I don't want to screw it up. Regards, Bill.

I was wondering if the plastic bed liner was a necessary part of the process. It would help retain water after a good rain.

So is Mr Echols going to share this new method or just tease us about it?

Bob Emmons had a theory about rust bluing..."Rust is rust the metal don't care how it gets rusty"
