How many you expect to get a week with all that?


I honestly haven't thought about it mate, I know there's plenty of foxes around the properties I have access too - time will tell I guess.

May be some truth in that. Before bluing ther was " browning ". Basically the guns were rusted then oiled.

the authentic old schoolers rust blue instead of hot or cold blue.... takes a lot longer, more involved. Its more correctly termed passivation as the layer of oxide makes the surface more 'passive'. The colour can be blue/bluish (blueing) brown (browning?) Black (Parkerization generally), plum red, in fact many colours depending on the combination of chamicals used in the process.... Blue just happens to be the most common colour finish.

That's what anodising aluminium is really isn't it?

They electrically burn a super thin layer of oxidization onto it I think?

Aluminium is more reactive than Iron, a microscopic layer of (Aluminium)oxide will develop as soon as the 'fresh' Al is exposed, by say a scracth or cutting etc... Anodising does produce an oxide layer but is used more so to apply a die colour to the surface by running a current through the Al where the die fills to pores of the metal.

Passivation of Iron /Steel alloys uses heat or chemical reactions without passing an external current through the material to develop the finish...

I'm sort of following you.

Not quite across where the electricity comes into staining it :lol:

Will do some reading rather than highjack the thread. Might post a new topic if/when I get stuck :lol:
