Bed before or after bluing?

Guys,

Have a rifle almost finished ... rust bluing yet to be done.

Does it matter much if the barreled action is bedded into the stock before it is blued?

I'd love to entirely prove the thing before it is blued.

Thanks!


Mike

If give the chance Bed it before you blue as the release agent can leave a very faint blemish on highly polished blued steel. More aesthetic then anything else.

It is pretty easy to muck up the bluing when bedding a rifle.

I would bet that almost all custom built rifles are blued after all other work is finished.
