I know from reading the posts on this site, Blueing guns has been discussed a lot. This is what I want to do. I have a Mauser K98 that I have gotten back in pretty good shape. All I want to do is display it, not hunt or shoot it. I know that over-the-counter blue kits are not very good if you are going to use your gun for a lot of shooting or hunting. Since all I want to do with this gun is display it, what would be a good over-the-counter brand kit? Thanks for any information MauserK98 | ||

I would simply have it blued and not fool with the kits As usual just my $.02 Paul K | |||

+1 When I was a kid. I had the stick. I had the rock. And I had the mud puddle. I am as adept with them today, as I was back then. Lets see today's kids say that about their IPods, IPads and XBoxes in 45 years! Rod Henrickson | |||

How much blueing would you estimate is on the gun? 90%, 80%, 70% or less?

I'm guessing you want to DIY. Forget a "kit" and buy some Oxpho-Blue from Brownell's. Follow their directions and you'll probably be quite happy with the results. If not, send it off and have it pro blued. | |||

Oxpho from Brownell's is the only cold blue I would mess with, but agree nothing beats a professional hot blue. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

NO to both ideas; get some rust bluing solution from Bobster, and rust blue it. It is easy, and will last forever, and look far better than cold blue. I assume you are restoring a 98k and not a K98; let me know which one you have. Or do you have a sporter taht you want blued? Totally different rifles. Also, it is a collectable piece? If so, anything you do to it will decrease the value. Post a pic. And forget "kits". | |||
