If you boil a rifle that was browned will it convert to black oxide (bluing) | ||

Yes; that is exactly what rust bluing is; you convert ferrous oxide (red) to ferric oxide (black) by boiling it; or you can steam it. However...depending on the rust, you might get a matte finish. Very matte. It will also be saturated with oil. | |||
