change from rust to salt bluing

Don · 11-23-2001, 09:04 PM

I'd need some help on trying to figure out when Mauser switched from rust bluing to salt bluing. From working the search engine on the Forum, I underststand it was sometime during the "T" block, but that's as far as I've gotten.

I'm looking for a Mauser shooter that was originally rust blued and strawed so I can ask Thor to take it back to original condition. I've got my eye on a Russian rework, # 64xx t, but I don't know if that gun was rust of salt blued. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
