On another interesting note, a few areas behind the grips were not effected by the bluing. Fortunately they do not show. I have alittle knowledge how guns were built back then and the only thing I can think of is maybe when the frame was cast. Perhaps during casting some of the metals impurities "floated" to the outer surface or some chemical bond formed within the casting media. If I get bored down the road I may acid etch those areas of the receiver to remove the supposed impurities that are supposedly on the surface only... And reblue.
Any thoughts ?
I really encourage people to look into this home bluing technique as well, pretty soon I will have a salt containment system and a natural gas burner for a pot that won't overflow
