Anyone mastered this yet ? What's your secret brand of buing agent? I;ve blued several times over the years but I still can't recommend a brand. What brand do you recommend? Any input would be appreciated.

I've been using Hoppe's 9 gun blue seems to work good all the time.
I tried some other one and never come out as good for some reason.

Is there a way to strip the bluing off metal?

yup, steel wool does really good job to bear metal.

Sniper, I tried Hoppes gun blue again for the first time. Actually I'm really pleased with the results I got this time. I stripped and reblued my BSA Mercury. I'll be posting pics of my Airguns soon and you will be able to see the results on the BSA.

i have been doing some blueing my self and the gun slick stuff is ok for touchups other then that i find it sucks so yesterday i went out to the local sports store ,and got me some Birchwood casey Super blue and the stuff rocks its extra strength deeeeeeep blue and man it works fast and is great for full coverage and for touchups as well and it works in seconds....
