Blueing, how to go about

[PVerdieck]

Allright. I purchased a P7-M8, then got 5 new magazines for it. The new magazines appear painted, while the old one is blued. 2 of the new mags don't eject cleanly. I was thinking of sanding down/stripping and then blueing.

What would be the best way to remove the paint? Any chemical I can just soak them is the process more painful?

How/What to use for blueing the clean/stripped magazines?

I would just use a wire wheel on a drill or dremel tool, I have had some experence in the use of paint stripper, and it is not a fun process.

Yeah, my mom has used paint stripper on wood, the stuff is essentially toxic, and a pain in the ass.

I was hoping there was some miracle chemical I didn't know of where I could just drop the mags in, and it would dissolve the paint...
