Don't. Send it to MAG and get it done to better than new.
cold blueing`s a waste of time and money, i`v tried it several time with mixed results. By the time youv farted around trying to get it looking even half right it could have been done properly. As accuspell says Colin malloy at manchester air guns is the man!
I've just done my second gun with Birchwood Casey's blueing kit. It won't give you a just out of the shop look, but I've found it's very good for restoring a period gun or rifle back to the used-and-cared-for look, as opposed to the been-left-in-the-shed-for-20-years look.
The first gun was my 1970 Webley and Scott .410 shotgun, and the second was a 1983 HW80, which I did today.
As the above says. Getting it done professionally is much better. If you are looking to do a bit of a touch up, Phillips gun blue is very good. Used it a fair few times and got good results.

Im looking into useing Plum brown, when i can find a local shop that stocks it, ive been told its quite hard wearing, unlike cold blue which wears away on barrels and underlevers that are handled alot.Originally Posted by brookesssy
Pulling the trigger, is the point of no return, but it all depends on what your aiming at.
But its the cost, waiting time and postage there and back again,so not much change out of £90.

cool thanks for the advice folks, I have an old Weihrauch HW77 that I am doing up, its in a real state and wanted to do it myself as much as possible. The underleaver is bent and will probs have to be replaced.
What is the best bet for stripping the lacquer off the stock?

Nitromorse and elbow grease. Remove the stock first, of course!
