I have a CMP Mossberg M44US and it is flawless except for some smal scratches that are near the front sight. I guess the armorers dinged it up a bit. I polished one of the larger ones out with some fine emory. The Birchwood Casey gel stuff I have wont blue the metal. Its a tiny spot, about 1/8" round that is bare but this stuff turns it black and then seems to just wipe right off..

I like Brownell's Oxpho Blue (haven't used the paste so can't comment on that). I have used their Formula 44/40 and don't give a damn for it.

When using Oxpho Blue, after prepping your metal, heat it fairly warm to open up those pores, the bluing will work much better and stay lots longer.

I use Birchwood Casey blue in a tube followed by Oxpho blue, and repeat the degrease-BWC-Oxpho cycle 5 to 10 times. Birchwood Casey makes a nice dark black color, the Oxpho blue seems to toughen it up. At least that's my impression; in any case, it works.
