This video demonstrates the process of removing the bluing from a Pietta 1858 SH Sheriff model revolver to achieve a custom, non-blued finish. The creator highlights the use of a rust remover and links to various tools and accessories used regularly in their videos, including steel targets, cameras, editing software, shooting equipment like hearing protection and safety glasses, ballistic gelatin powder, reloading tools, and various types of shooting targets. The video focuses on the modification aspect of the firearm for aesthetic customization.
This video tutorial, part of 'The Model 67 Project,' demonstrates the crucial steps involved in polishing a rifle barrel to achieve a superior surface finish for bluing. MidwayUSA CEO Larry Potterfield guides viewers through cleaning existing lettering, protecting it with tape, and progressively sanding the barrel from 120 grit up to 220 grit. The process involves both lengthwise sanding for scratch removal and cross-polishing for a smooth finish. A hobby lathe is used for the final sanding stages, and the protected lettering areas are polished once the tape is removed, leaving the barrel ready for the bluing process.
