Sadly guys the results are not perfect the barrel came out ok but the cylinder isn't great so if anyone knows where I could get this done professionally and some black anodising for my action which don't cost the earth please let me know thanks guys.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
What the welshman says.
For the price I don't know why people try DIY to be honest.
Not having a dig but proper blueing is a specialist process.

That or buy a new one from Julian and get Colin to blue it properly! Unless AA's quality has improved recently?

As said. Give Colin a bell. He did my HW77 a couple of years back. Well I reckon his blueing was better then the manufacturer. :D

I could never get on with the casey stuff. I reckon it's so watered down. I reckon Phillips gun blue paste if far better.

Done a couple of prewar underlevers and Enfields with Phillips paste and they came out well.

Ive never heard anyone have good results from this stuff. It might be good for very small areas.
