Does anyone know a good reliable cold blue process? I have tried Birchwood Casey in the past with limited success. I took in an old Win. 94 and it could use some touchup, but I don’t want to take away any collector value in the process. Most of the wear is on the bottom third of the receiver, where it has been carried all these years. There is also some wear on the sides of the magazine tube and barrel. Thanks.
To preserve the collector value do NOT use or do ANY bluing. A gun that is in original condition, i.e. wear and tear and scratches is worth more than one that has been reblued in any manner. If you want, clean any rust off with fine steel wool and use a good gun oil, but other wise leave as it.

That is what I ended up doing. I cleaned it up as best I could with 000 steel
wool and Kroil and worked out really good. Thanks for the info.
