I'm getting ready to install a gated Kirst Konverter cylinder on two pistols - Uberti 1858 5" Remington Army and a Uberti 1851 5" Colt Navv. This means that I have to cut out the loading ports in the frames for the gates so cartridges can slide in and spent casings out - so will have some raw metal when done where I cut it out.
I haven't used "cold blueing" in probably 55 years so not really sure if there is one any better than the other for re-blueing the modified loading ports to match the Uberti deep dark blue. Certainly not going to need anything bur a small bottle of it.
Anyone have a suggestion for a good brand they've used that will give a deep blue that would be close to what Ubertis look like from the factory?
Thanks!
Jim
