That was an improvement but I didn't really like it. I put some rust bluing solution on it just to see if it would rust; it did. So I blued it; it looks much better now! Thanks, Gil [IMG]

I'm pretty certain Oxpho is a phosphate treatment and does not play well with other bluing methods. Any thoughts on this?
