What has prejudice got to do with anything? It's just a fact that you can't turn carbon steel into stainless steel. All he did was remove the protective bluing from a carbon steel slide (using the wrong technique, I might add).

Ummmmmm. People, please don't do this. You cannot make "Stainless Steel" out of a steel barrel. The bluing (The black color on the steel slide) is a coating that protects the steel from rusting. If you remove it, the slide will eventually pit and rust. I suppose if you have to experiment with it, the 709 is a good choice because it was never much of a gun to begin with, but don't ruin a good gun by trying this!
It won’t rust if you take normal care of it like always keeping it lubricated. Or you can just nickel plate it. I’m going to gold plate mine all you need is a gold plating kit which is like 800$ and you can gold plate and nickel plate and it’s very easy to do.
You could in theory dura coat it after this, but you're kinda running in circles at that point. And he needs to be taking the slide apart for any of this.
For people coming to this thread at a later date, muriatic acid or vinegar baths are also options, just be careful with the muriatic acid. Gloves and proper ventilation.
@@Bread45 Does it matter if its wet sand paper or no? thinking about doing it to mine. Also is there a recommended time to use each different sand paper
I've actually decided to prevent rust, Im gonna apply a Blue agent to create a beautiful, somewhat original Blueis/Black finish. I'm not gonna leave it naked stainless steel due to rusting issues.
Mothers dries very hard and is abrasive. So yeah I would of completely stripped the slide! Very possible to cause internal issues. Not to mention it would be perfect time to clean and lube while stripped.
I've been thinking about doing this with my Shield. I want a stainless stainless slide but I'm scared to try lol. Plus Shields have rusting issues as it is. I've looked into duracoating but thats damn near as much as the gun. Fuck that. Yours looks sick tho.
YOU CANNOT turn carbon steel into stainless steel by removing the blueing. It will then rust very easily. Blueing is for protection! This is an example of amatuer gunsmithing 101.

Hi, I'm thinking of doing the same thing to mine. But if the black metal is not stainless steel, wont it rust with time after the paint is removed? Thank you
Yes it will. Normal gun metal is carbon steel and will rust. Stainless steel has nickel added to it during the smelting process. To be clear, lower grades of stainless are still subject to pitting and rusting. The general, let me repeat, the general rule is, if it’s stainless, a manufacturer is unlikely to put another finish on it to begin with. Conversely, if you buy a gun with a finish on it, odds are it’s carbon steel.
@@jmsmeier1113 I did this to my slide and a 38 revolver, and I will polish it up to a mirror finish and within weeks it goes super super dull as the oxygen gets to the metal, is there anything I can do to avoid this? My only thought would be to polish it up then spray it with a clear coat spray paint
Congratulations, just fucked up your gun. First of all you’re not gonna get a mirror finish using sandpaper on the gun, you scratch the surface, until those scratches are buffed out you’ll never get the mirror finish that you’re looking for. But more importantly, removing the blue down to bare steel doesn’t make it stainless, it just makes it bare steel. Stainless steel has nickel added when it’s being made.Let me know if you want a tip on how to salvage that gun before it rusts.
@@arturob5306 you have a few options. Cerokote, that requires baking the finish on at a very precise temperature, so should probably be done by a professional. Then there’s duracoat that pretty much just paints on and air drys, but if I recall, you polished all the surface imperfections out of this gun and brought it to a true mirror shine. So, providing this is the case, there are plenty of utube videos on colt Royal blue nitre bluing. This is an amazing finish that I can only describe as a blue chrome look. The colors change in the light and this was colts premier finish on the original pythons. It’s imperative that all the scratches are out, and the gun really does reflect like a mirror. I’ll include a link where you can get the salts to do this, but you need to educated yourself on the process. The depth and tone of the finish is dependent on the temperature of the salt bath and the length of time the parts are in it.

You can‘t blue stainless steel. Blued guns are made of carbon steel, not stainless steel. By removing the blueing you just made it look like stainless steel. The bad thing is carbon steel is going to rust without the blueing. The blueing was protecting the surface.
Ok so just because you took the coating off of the slide does not turn it into a stainless slide. Considering its most likely carbon steel. You just created a rust magnet.
Your correct on the polish he used, but I disagree with the rest of your statement. If you have blocks of white and green jewelers rouge, and a bit of experience, you can accomplish a polished surface that is second to none. That’s not to say it won’t rust if it’s carbon steel, but for preparing a gun for bluing, it can turn out every bit as good as using a buffer.
@@gunsandammo3113 What grit sandpaper do I start off with to takeoff the black color and then what grit do I use after all the black colors off I know there’s a process with the sandpaper I know how to use the mothers polish but I never used the sandpaper before what grade am I going to need to start off with and finish off with what is the process?
My bet is it's pitted and rusty! Would love to see a pic. I live in NH and even my blued guns will start getting some rust spots just sitting in the safe.
@@shotgunwilly4685 since you’ve invested in a safe, I’m guessing your not a first time gun owner. As you probably already know, excessive oiling actually draws moisture, but I was taught a trick to avoid rust on guns that are stored long term. Get a can of carnuba wax and melt it into a liquid. Saturate a small rag in it and wipe your guns down. I live in Florida where the humidity is typically 352%, and since I started doing this, I have no rust issues.
Yes but you just have to oil it and keep it dry occasionally and it should be fine, of course it’s better not having to maintain the slide at all but it’s necessary if you want to keep it shiny and rust free

next time put it in vinegar it will take all the blue of for you . and put a car buffer in a vise and buff it out
Should have stripped the entire slide and used a chemical stripper. Half way done is not done.
So this video is a few years old hows your Taurus holding up? I'd like to do this to my Titus
Don’t ! I did it to g26 and it was like a old rust bucket after few weeks
You can knock off the coating with a media blaster pretty easy without scratching up the slide just a suggestion for anyone wanting to do this

So how's it now? Did you put a coatung of something on it? Leave it like it is? If yes is it rusting?
It’s stainless steel
They do make a parker coating in stainless spray it on there

that method will tarnish the polished metal alloy eventually.
