Gun bluing Real Sword Type 56
Is it possible? The gun is all steel so i was thinking to do some custom weathering to make it look aged. I Remember seen a guy in AK post that did a amazing sanding off/re-bluing + rust effect that looked stunning.

Depends which gen you have. I was told the older type 56's come pre-blued. The newer ones can be blued easily with a bluing kit from any hunting store.

RS ak's are already blued.
The "amazing bluing" you've seen is people improperly bluing stuff with cold bluing chemicals. |

Play in the rain, let it rust overnight, then remove the rust with a fine steel wool.
In some pictures, you can see that lots of the older well kept type 56's are basically silver because all the finish has been worn off. |

you can actually cold blue a realsword (I coldblued the originally orange flashhider that came with my Type 56-1) ; however, all other steel parts are already pre-blued in the latest version; so, I don't see the point of doing it; beside, coldbluing should only be used to refinish areas where the bluing as worn off.

I re-blued my Rs today and darn it looked nice! The "improper cold blue" really gave it an authentic beat up look! Thanks for the tips guys.
