Can I cold blue 12L14?

I started building my new QCTP today and the only suitable sized block I had on hand was 12L14. Man I love working with that material!! I made the toolpost body out of that, and found a nice piece of 303 to make the cam and retaining post from. The pistons and handle will be O1 drill rod. So how about it...will leaded steel take cold bluing?

I don't see why not. Got a friend that is into gun smithing. He may have some you can try or if it's avialable in small quantities try some. You can always use the rest on something else.

Hi Web,
yes, you can by using any of the various gun blueing chemicals sold in any relevant shop.
Have done it myself many a time. Wash well afterwards and oill immediately after drying.
Happy blueing,
George
