My blued WE Luger P08

[krumlauf83]

Just finised the custom job on my WE Luger P08. Sandblasted all the parts except the screws, and other pre-blued small parts. The barrel is aluminum made so that had to be black oxidized using the Birchwood Casey Aluminum Black



After sanblasting I polished all the parts with some very fine steel wool and then I used Birchwood Casey Perma Blue



The wood grips are Tanaka made, and after blueing I used a brillo to weather it on the right places. It did take a long time but it was well worth it if you ask me

Very nice job. What kind of bluing did you use for the non aluminum parts? I was going to blue one of my custom Kar98s, I had all the paint sanded off, took forever. The birchwood casey bluing didn't seem to work so I ended up painting it all

[krumlauf83]

Thank you, I used the Perma Blue on all the main parts and Aluminum Black on the aluminum barrel. The metal is not magnetic so it seems to be some kind of low grade alloy metal, you might need to repeat the blueing process several times before it turns black or dark grey

If the metal is non metalic bevery careful using "Blueing" products. They can chemically react with the alloy and pit it very badly or even melt it completely

I have used the Perma Blue on my AGM MP44 and MP40 as well and the results where the same, no problems with melting but it does rust very easily so i use gun oil
