Casey, Like I've said, I've been there and done that as have many many others. I rust blue them to different degrees of luster for different types of rifles. I've seen some done to an even higher gloss than any I have done.

If you look at lot of english double shotguns, damascus in particular, you will see many that have a much higher degree of polish than 320 grit. In fact, some are better than 600.
