[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 1735262, member: 13284"] Try taking turns wiping down the finish with denatured alcohol on rag and using the steel wool. It has worked well for me in the past when I needed to age rings and mounts. With a little work it will leave you with a dulled grayish finish without stripping anything too agressively. After using the DA and re-lubricating, the finish should match the Swede's bluing pretty well. Naval jelly will work too, but you have to use it very sparingly as it completely removes bluing and parkerized finishes very easily. The only time that I have used naval jelly to age anything was on suncorite painted and parkerized stock metal on a new replacement MK I stock that needed to match the worn silver colored finish on my Savage No 4.
