If the floor plate is anything to go by, this 1891 has no bluing left. So it will need to be refinished. What's my best bet to come up with a good finish for the metal?
I have used Navel Jelly in many cases like this, after the Jelly takes everything off, any metal is very easily blued. 2 of the rifles I have stripped, I have left bare and just keep them well oiled...the metal is beautiful.
My Uncles Rem .22 stripped and oiled.
