Thread: Cleaning Blue steel.

Cheers, they are not rusty or in a real bad way so oil will do.
I will leave the Dremel in its case for now.
2 things I love about Hart Steel blades. 1.The edges are amazing / 2. They strip down

Long story short,My dad spent a week hand polishing a K 22 S&W,hot salt blued it,was perfect.
Iwent out and got some fish and chips,sqeezed a lemon over it,got some on the pistol, removes Bluing immiediatly
Dad was rather pissed.

Yes sir, all I have ever done with guns that were blued was gently wipe the surface dry and gently oil them before putting away. Found WD40 worked just fine.

Bob

Oil did just fine. I even replaced the washers...
The scales are Tennessee Hickory btw.
I have 5 Hart steel razors, each one comes with a bottle of oil , so I will never run low on blade oil

Bill,

My son must have taken lessons from you. He had amazing abilities in the screwup department.

Damn, now that’s a rough neighborhood, when you got to eat your fish & chips with a gun in your hand… or some real hungry folks, that like their fish…
