    Cold blue takes to brass

    Most will know, others might find this of use.

    Brass will darken just like steel when treated with cold blue.

    It'll blue nickel too.
    We need somebody/something to keep the government (cops and bureaucrats too) HONEST (by non government oversight).

    Every "freedom" (latitude) given to government is a loophole in the rule of law. Every loophole in the rule of law is another hole in our freedom. When they even obey the law that is. Too often government seems to feel itself above the law.

    We forgot to take out the trash in 2012, but 2016 was a charm! YESSS!

    I have seen "express" rear sights before, but that is thee very first "express" front sight I have laid my peepers upon.

    Be sure you neutralize the cold blue....I would imagine GREEN would be the result if you did not.

    I wonder if it will effect the structural integrity of the brass.
