Im attempting to re-blue my old winchester pump shotgun because of rust and corrosion. Just to see if i could succesfully blue the gun i tried it out on a small area of the barrel. First i cleaned the area with degreaser, rubbed it with fine steel wool, used a blue and rust remover(which worked), then finally applied the blue-let it sit for 3 min.-rinsed it off with water-let it air dry!!and im not SURE if this is SUPPOSED to happen but it rusted over-BUT THEN after scrubbing with steel wool it looked good but it didnt have the dark black original color. I have since tried reapplying but didnt work. What are your methods on blueing and should i keep reapplying that stuff.
