Rust blueing malleable iron receivers

Will rust blueing give a suitable blue finish on malleable iron receivers, such as the Savage model 219, that turns red when hot blued?

Thanks in advance for any information.

I don't think so, but try the Ballard forum, they know everything about cast actions.
