    Thanks for the bluing post Bob, very nicely done.
    With regards to the brush, I just ordered the following from Brownells Australia:

    https://www.brownells.com.au/index.p...l&manu_id=1697

    Delivered for $61.88, 21 day wait as stock is in the US but I only paid for domestic shipping from Canberra.
    Cheers,
    Greg.

    The blueing looks good, rust blueing is something I've always wanted to try, it is supposed to be the best but takes the most work.

    When I click on that link, it takes me to the Brownells site, but it says "Error 404 Page Not Found". Happens in both Safari and Firefox. I had the same issue with another forum thread. Anyone else?

    From past experience Brownells Australia is just a satellite service everything I have ever ordered had to come from the US, now I just order straight from the US

    Is it cheaper or faster ordering direct from the US?

    Cost depends on shipping which from the US can be expensive.
    Mine ended up costing about $2 more but I reckon it got to me faster.
    I also saw Brownwells had them for sale but I didn't buy from then because the ordering process required me to accept them sending me advertising - its a small thing but they lost my sale over it.

    Yeah I have done that but I figure it was worth the $2 and I got it faster. Also I found that unsubscribing doesn't always work. 10 years ago I bought something from Bretts trucks and I must have unsubscribed a dozen times but they still keep coming. I set up filters on my email but every now at then they change their address so they still keep coming. I then inserted more key words into the filters but then they started using images!!!!!

    The carding brush arrived from Brownells last Thursday so that's 25 days but I'm happy with that when they wear the cost of shipping from the US.

    Quality is very nice and not a single email from Brownells since the original order confirmation so no spam issues.
    I'm marking this up as a winner.
    Cheers,
    Greg.
