Bluing remover

Some time ago...sounds like a fairytale...in Wyoming. We had a family of skunks living under the house. This wouldn't have bothered me too much....except the kittens got old enough to fight. So...box trap! We did very well until the last critter. What I had been doing was taking the smelly varmits to the crick and drowning them. Yeah yeah, I know...heartless ba....rd. They kept coming back! The drowning seemed to be fairly permanent. On the last one...it was snowing and it was getting pretty deep...four feet...and I thought...just shoot the rascal...so I did. He sprayed my hand...and my .38 special..the blue came off...right down to the white. I reblued it...but..every time I fired it more than 5 or six times...the skunk smell came back. Skunk cologne takes the blue off...but nothing takes the skunk outta the metal.

I'll take the vinegar method any day over that.

I typed out what I thought and then after some thinking I decided to just go with this.........

Thats wild, there must be some kind of strong chemical in skunk spray. I wonder why the bluing won't stay on the metal.
