    Vinegar and citric acid will not remove parkerizing though, which is phosphates and ortho-phosphoric acid is stronger than the organic acids.
    Need muriatic acid for that.

    flux for soldering sure makes bluing disappear like magic, and I can verify that!
    Look twice, shoot once.

    "I have about 2 cases left of the rust blue left, but I haven't made more, since I'm not actively selling on the forum anymore because I'm moving to a new state. PM me if you want a bottle.

    Looks like he does. Reference post #21

    Andy's solution is easy to use and the results are very nice.

    There are other sources of rust bluing solution that can be found at Midway and Brownell's. For my next project I am considering the Rust Blue American solution marketed by Rust Blue.

    Wow. I just looked at Andy's post and didn't notice it was last year. Sorry.

    I have used Evapo-rust on a few firearms in deplorable condition. Fastest way I know of to reveal exactly what you are dealing with, and no fumes or disposal problems. It does leave a thin film, but given the extensive pitting and damage I was dealing with, this was a very minor issue.

    Blood works to. Not really controlable though. Found out after I bloodied my palm on the slide on an old Sears Higgins shotgun decades ago.
