Here's my story and I'm sticking to it. I have an older Winchester 94 Classic rifle. Through my own neglect (stupidity) I have rusting and pitting on the barrel beneath the wood on the fore-end and on the lower tang where it meets the stock. The patches on the barrel are about the size of a fingernail whereas the lower tang is rusted thoroughly along one side.
I've removed the rust with PB Blaster and 0000 steel wool and plan on attacking the pitting with progressively finer sandpaper. The original finish had a grainy almost brushed finish. I want to try and match the original color which is almost black. What cold bluing product would you suggest to try and recapture the original look?
Admittedly, most of this will be covered up by the wood and as such will not be highly noticeable or be subject to further wear. I'm more concerned with rust.
Any recommendations for products and/or procedures will be greatly appreciated.
