[QUOTE="TedKennedy, post: 2061495, member: 25419"] I would do one of three things before I'd cold blue anything. 1. rust blue - Brownell's sells a great rust agent, it gives a great finish but is very time-consuming. Overkill for an SKS, IMHO. 2. Duracoat - if you have an airbrush, and follow the directions, this is great stuff. 3.Parkerize - this is less involved than rust blue, and looks great on military rifles. You can make a "dip tube" out of 4" PVC to suspend barreled action in, it will stay hot long enough to parkerize if you add park mixture at correct temp. Lots of info on web, Duracoat people sell a Parker mix that works great. I've refinished too many rifles to count and I realized long ago that there were better ways to fix a finish problem. It may take longer for these, but I have never been happy with cold blue results. [/QUOTE]
