I was just about to do cold bluing on my disassembled Ithaca Model 49S - 22LR Rifle. I was planning on using Birchwood Casey Cold Bluing. The instruction stated that the bluing chemical will not take to metal that isn't 100% steel. So I took a magnet to the barrel and it stuck, but when I tried the main body it did not. Looking closer it looks like it has been cast out of aluminium, is that possible?
Can anyone tell me how I can apply bluing to this particular gun/body housing? Has anyone tried home bluing of the same rifle?
Thanks.
