:crazy:  If you can afford a Krieghoff ? whats a spare pair of barrels to a man like you? :fie:

 

[SoR]

Guru don't need new barrels I was asking if anyone had any tricks for removing bloom or is rebluing the only way?

 

[RobertBeard]

Treat yourself to some ShootClay barrel stickers and cover it up!

Never heard of rust being called bloom before!

Discoloration of a surface finish indicating the early stages of rust.

WD40

Happened to me Steve.  Just wiped the barrels with Clensoil - lots of oil, lots of wiping.

vaseline  lifts rust

Autosol & a drop of kurust   Sorted

To get rid you need to cut out the affected  back to good metal then weld a new bit in...  it must be a continuous weld, not tacked 

& I'd recommend a good gloss topcoat to cover everything

Halfords have a 3 for 2 sale on at the mo i think

Well that lot were great help.

TD no help as well as Chippy / me.

But he doesn't get mentioned. He started me orrff again.

Sorry.

You can buy cold blue for just such repairs. Follow instructions on it.

Always pays to take spare dry slip on wet days.

If it won't clean up with a bit of gun oil or WD40 and some elbow grease, then take it to a gunsmith and let him sort it!
