I have used the Birchwood-Casey blueing kit on a couple .22 rifles and an old Mosin - none turned out good. It is uneven, and some metal parts just don't take it - too much chromium in the steel, methinks...?
It is also not very durable - rubs or scratches easily.
Hot blueing is really the only way it'll look good.
