This will cure the problem off the paint peeling off your 001T. Strip it all off and make it look better. You can even make it look a 100 years old like Sir Henry did his.Ojaileveraction wrote:Are Henry's blued, painted or other?
The blueing on my H001T is flaking off.
What is bluing?

Whatever happens to my saddle gun, it's all part of the aging process....

Re: Firearm "Blueing"
The receiver and barrel band on the H001's are painted - everything else is blued. Your receiver paint shouldn't be flaking off like that. You could touch it up with some paint (i.e. Birchwood Casey Super Black Gloss) or maybe contact Henry to see if you can get a new receiver.....

Re: Firearm "Blueing"
Was just looking again at my Henry catalogue and noticed that all models except the 22's give a receiver finish.

It is black paint that is too soft to have been baked on.Mistered wrote:I looked at one once and It appeared to have some type of baked on enamel.
Some keyboard time might reveal the correct answer.

Same thing can happen with the brass lite coating used on the brass versions of the rimfire.
