Reblueing

[Hammockben1]

I have a 870 that has a good bit of rust on it and I am wondering if it would benefit me to just get the kit and reblue the whole gun or what any suggestions

Try an OLD copper penny and 0000 steel wool.
You’d be surprised how well it can look before you decide to go bluing it yourself.

Old copper penny? How would you do that

 

[Mr Bya Lungshot]

It will scrape all the rust off without harming the gun.
The copper penny is softer. YouTube it.

Ok thank you

That's pretty awesome I would have never thought that a old penny will do that

he left something out...when he says old penny he means one prior to 1982...that is the last year they were all copper I think...don't use the newer blended material pennies

Put down an old towel and spray down the metal parts of the gun generously with breakfree CLP. Let it soak for 15-20 minutes, then scrub it with a copper bristled brush and wipe it clean. Repeat until the rust is gone.

Yeah the videos I was watching stated that after 1982 is copper plated zinc it's not copper but I still would have never knew that though

a little oil and some 0000 steel wool would do wonders. touch it up with some cold blue and back to the woods.
