barrel bluing ?
I am wanting to re-blue a rem 1100 barrel that has rusted. I have sanded out the pits I started with 320 then 400 now 600 wet sanded with wd 40 the metal is now ready. The question is, it is a vent rib barrel and I was thinking of using Art's Belgium blue which involves putting the barrel in hot water, sub boiling temps but hot. I am thinking that the temps involved are safe for the solder that holds the rib to the barrel. Am I correct or am I risking desoldering the rib. I'm also open to other suggestions about other cold blues.
Thanks
