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

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

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.
