I took the bluing off my Uberti Walker ...

[dogtag]

Only about two inches at muzzle end of barrel. I squirted it with a
general kitchen cleaner during cleaning and saw the blue vanish just
as soon as the cleaner hit it. I dropped it in the hot water which arrested
further damage. I couldn't believe it as I'd used the cleaner on my BP
cartridge rifles with no bad results. It also had no affect on my 91 Mauser
so they obviously did a better bluing job way back when. I don't know much
if anything about the bluing process so I can't even guess as to why the
blueing was so thin ? weak ? or maybe it's not bluing at all ?

Which cleaner was it?

[Tom Trevor]

Vinegar will strip most bluing in seconds.

Can't recall name of cleaner - got it from dollar store.
Walker still goes bang but she's not quite so pretty.
Going bang is more important.

So now it has that Old Time look.

No, it's me that has the old time look.
