I don't think they available in Canada so I doubt they will be available in the UK either. Get what you want from the US, it's a small world these days.Les wrote:I can't find any stockists of Radocy or Blue Wonder in the UK. Does anybody know if they are available?
I have one of Alan Westlake's muzzle loading revolvers. Alan supplies the cylinders in bare metal and I would like to have this blued to match the rest of the gun. As the cylinder is already bare metal and polished, could I just apply the blue without any further metal prep?Sim G wrote:The secret really is in the metal preparation.

Why not post some pics of the results !Ovenpaa wrote:For anyone wanting to have a bash at doing it themselves I strongly recommend getting hold of a copy of 'Firearms Bluing and Browning' R H Angier. It explains the process and gives hundreds of different recipes for Bluing and Browning and the applications. It is really worth the read and in my opinion is the definitive source on this subject.
It is also rather satisfying to do it yourself instead of buying a generic product off the shelf.
