I've spent hour and hours trying to get receivers, magazines and other parts finished prior to being blued. Is there a book out there somewhere that can teach me how to properly finish metal prior to bluing. You can't have a crappy prepared finished surface and expect it to look nice. I'm currently toying with a
gew88 receiver and hope to someday put on it a swedish 8mm barrel for shooting cast bullets. As you might expect these rifles run the gamut from good all the way down to scrap. Out of 6 bbld actions I have 1 receiver that had minor pitting a miracle in and of itself. So if there is a book out there that can help me, please steer me in the right direction. Thanks, Frank
