Description

This lot comprises three primary components: one Birchwood Casey Perma Blue Liquid Gun Blue Kit and two translucent plastic organizational cases containing a comprehensive array of firearm maintenance and cleaning supplies. The bluing kit is in its original blister packaging and includes a 3 fl oz bottle of Perma Blue Liquid Gun Blue, a 3 fl oz bottle of Blue & Rust Remover, and a 3 fl oz bottle of Cleaner-Degreaser, alongside accessories such as wet/dry sandpaper, Barricade take-alongs, daubers, steel wool, a sponge, and a service cloth. The accompanying cleaning cases contain approximately six double-ended utility brushes with black plastic handles (one marked Item 40442), one syringe of breech plug and choke tube lubricant, three red-tipped .45 ACP snap caps, one green and black camouflage bore snake, one brown and black camouflage bore snake, a bundle of white pipe cleaners, one Colgate Total toothbrush repurposed for cleaning, and several brass-bristle bore brushes. The variety of tools provides for the stripping, cleaning, and re-bluing of small-to-medium firearm components.


Condition report:

The items show varying degrees of use. The bluing kit remains in its original factory blister pack, though the packaging shows shelf wear and a price sticker. The cleaning tools exhibit carbon residue and copper fouling on the brush bristles, consistent with regular maintenance use. The translucent storage cases show staining and dark residue on the interior dividers. The bore snakes appear intact without fraying. The snap caps show typical impact marks on the primer surface. Mechanical function of the cleaning brushes and syringe appears correct.
