New Original Bluing Stain
Re: New Original Bluing Stain
Welcome to the forum. Yeah you need to get that fixed. It would drive me nuts knowing that was there.

Re: New Original Bluing Stain
It’s just disappointing that I sent it back 1/15 (3 days after my FFL got it in) with a concern about a barrel bluing flaw only for another blemished barrel to come back last night.

Re: New Original Bluing Stain
Wow that is one fine rifle presentation you built ! Looks like that stain area cleared up a bit after the second attempt.
One of my Henrys has a a couple of small spots on the barrel but not bad enough to send back. I used a soft cloth and a bit of break clean to remove the shipping oil and then wipe down with Ballistol.

Really nice rifle & rack. You did very well. I'll echo what everyone else said & send it back. Too nice a gun to have a blemish of any kind.
Welcome to the forum, keep us posted how it goes.

I rarely ever buy a rifle, but when I do, it's a Henry.

Re: New Original Bluing Stain
Welcome. I have a S&W M360, which has a PVD coating (https://blog.gunassociation.org/gun-coa ... ent-types/). After firing .38s and .38 +Ps, I notice no different in the finish. But after firing .357s, I notice a discoloring of the cylinder (which is stainless steel). I tried my typically cleaner (Hoppe's No. 9). No change. Since I was unfamiliar with the finish. I did not want to be too aggressive. After some reach and contacting S&W, I tried Flitz (https://www.flitz.com/). The stuff works great. I had original purchased it to use on another firearm, to address a scratch concern. But, tried it on the discoloring. After polishing, it left a high gloss, almost mirror like, shine. Currently, I am not planning using on the whole revolver. Yet, I may use it to polish rifle with the scratch concern.
P.S.

Re: New Original Bluing Stain
Rifle should be back tonight. Henry acknowledged the blueing flaw and has replaced the barrel. Great service and looking forward to getting it to the range this weekend. I’ll post pictures once I open the box and inspect.
I also stumbled upon a suppressor ready 22 Mag that I couldn’t pass up. Pre-COVID prices can still be found. Out for delivery this morning to my local FFL. One more for the list.

Rifle is back and barrel is perfect. Owner also sent out a care package including a camping mug and a hat. Great company.
