    Default Winchester 190 project

    I picked up a Winchester 190 project. I bought it disassembled and the finish was removed off of most of the gun. The receiver is aluminum. I am looking at blasting the rest of the finish off. I would like to use the same media on the aluminum (paint?)and steel parts(blued). The inside of the receiver is hard to get at with steel wool, otherwise I would just remove the paint(?) that way. The barrel still has some bluing. I'm pretty sure glass beads would remove the remaining bluing, but i don't want to pit the aluminum receiver.

    Will glass beads pit the aluminum receiver?
    Will plastic beads remove bluing?


    Any suggestions?

    Try ordinary vinegar for the bluing.
    You can find info online.

    I highly doubt plastic beads will remove bluing.

    Paint stripper for the aluminum.
