Hey all,
I'm kind of a gun nut, and I came across this Browning BPS that was in real tough cosmetic shape at a auction awhile back, picked it up for $100.
I'm trying to restore it into a shooter on the cheap. I've got all of the necessary parts from ebay and the such.
I've got the gun disassembled to the point that I should be able to do a pretty good job with a diy'er blueing kit. I thought that the all of the blued parts were steel (I removed the trigger) untill I started floating a magnet near the trigger assmbly.
What can I use to get the aluminum blued to the same level of blueing that I put on the rest of the parts. Right now I've got a birchwood casey permablue paste kit. This kit won't work on the aluminum trigger frame. I also need to know how to remove the old blueing on the aluminum trigger frame. Sandpaper and steel wool?
I could leave the trigger with the stock color, but it would look funny with the wear on it near the trigger guard.
