Nice! I've gotta try that on one of mine. I think my BAS might look good blued. It would really make the brass inlay in the sword of Shiva stand out. Good to see you posting, Sweet; I haven't noticed you around the HI forum lately.

Hey Josh, if you do a BAS with a brass inlay then the brass will turn black, dont know how that would look...I just snatch up another AK today that has brass so I will blue it when it gets in and I'll try not to blacken the bolster with the bluing...I was goofen with cold browning a blade tonight and did not like how it turned out pinkish so I cleaned it back up and noticed the temperline came right out I'll post a pic of that when I get an o.k pic...sure beat doing the PCH route...just been lurkin

Hmmm.... that's not really the look I'm going after. I wonder if you could cover the brass with something that would resist the blueing solution. I'll have to look into that, because I really like the look of the blued blade.

Try masking tape.

I think fingernail polish over the brass would resist the bluing and be easily removed afterward.

What color do you use?

 

[Bill Martino]

Holy Toledo.

Okay Roger...Kuhks at 4 feet.

You get a KK, I get a Kobra!

Nice. I also did the bluing on an AK a while back. Wears nice, too.
