Is there some kind of barrel plug sold for bluing a 22 caliber rifle?
We do a LOT of bluing, and the answer is going to be "it depends." If you are talking about hot-salt bluing like a professional shop uses then the answer is absolutely not. We do not plug bores in a hot-salt bluing tank because the pressure would cause the plugs to shoot out of the bore and splash 295 degree caustic salts everywhere. If you are talking about a traditional rust-blue where an application of bluing solution is swabbed onto the prepped steel, the part is allowed to oxidize (rust) in a humid cabinet, then boiled off in water and carded, the answer is yes. Bores do need to be plugged when rust-bluing simply to avoid any of the solution getting into the bore. We make plugs out of wooden dowel when we set up for this process - I know of no commercial reusable bore plugs for this purpose. Finally, if you are referring to swab-on "cold blues" - I would imagine you could plug bores similarly to the rust blue process. sales@countrygunsmith.net
