ikesdad Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 I'm going to remove the military rear sight on my M48. I know how to do this so my question is, is the barrel under the sight sleeve blued or white ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Hess Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 I haven't taken a M48 sight off, but the other Mauser sights I've taken off all were blued underneath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikesdad Posted December 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 Thanks Doc. If that's the case, then I wont have to do any touch up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzRednek Posted December 25, 2019 Report Share Posted December 25, 2019 Even if you have to do some touch up. All military rifles I’ve restored ordinary off the shelf $3 cold blueing works well. I assume it’s because the military metal is not polished as commercial guns leaving a more porous surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
