Blueing a barrel

(1/4) > >>

mario:
The barrel on my new trade gun feels perfectly smooth to the touch but I can see the tiny rings left from turning it on the lathe.

Should I do something about them or will the blueing not be affected?

Mario

Captchee:
well initially it wont effect the bluing but as the bluing wears you will begin to see it again .
What your probably seeing is the marks left by the heat of the turning

jasontn:
you can use wet dry sandpaper to smooth it up. what kind of blueing you plan on using?

Captchee:
if these are actual scratches use a dimond hone to clean them up

mario:
They don't seem to be actual scratches. Can't feel them with my fingernail, but I can see them.

Using B/C stuff.

Mario
