Bam Bam Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Some of my mags are getting worn and metal is starting to shine. Is there anything out there to reblue the mags? BGC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyOne Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I completely removed all the bluing, inside and out, from my CZ mags....and left them bare...and the rust stopped. They won't win a beauty contest, but they work fine. For those that want to instantly remove bluing from something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfd147 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Cerakote Microslick. No need for a curing oven it just air dries. http://www.cerakoteguncoatings.com/finishes/C-110Q/micro-slick-dry-film-coating/ Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind bat Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Grumpy - That's good to know. I actually buffed the blueing off of a bunch of my mags. It's a pain with sand paper an a buffing wheel. I'll have to give that stuff a try the next time I want to polish a mag. Do any of the big retailers (home depot, walmart, etc) stock the stuff or do you buy it online?

TallGuy Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I like the wear marks on my mags. I like the wear marks on my TS frame and slide even more. It shows that I use it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tha1000 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I had my Pre B refinished in August of last year... It already looks like a drop gun again. I see no point in refinishing the mags unless you are having rust issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home Depot or Lowe's will carry it. It is just a normal cleaner...that removes bluing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you degrease the before you coat it.Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Bam Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 Thanks for all the replies. Now i have to decide to strip, and leave it, reblue or Cerakote. ... I am kind of lazy so probably go for the strip and as long as they are not rusting i use them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayohee Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 This is a good question since all my mags are getting rusty. I have to rub oil on them every other practice session or it builds up pretty bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
