Hoppies 9 Bluing kit 

If you can find it Bryan 

Gives a deep blue like a prosport has best iv used 

If you find it let me know ASAP 

As iv looked all over for it lol

Other than that Philips professional gun blue do as it says on the bottle and you should be OK 

You will have to take the barrel off mind to do it

If a few of you want the Hoppes kit, phone Edgar Brothers to get some on their next order, this is by far the best way to get it or go on ebay US and ship it over yourselves.

Philips gun blue may be the way to go Bryan 

It tells you on the bottle 

Or vids on u tube to get some old guttering cap the ends off

And use it as a trench then once you have mixed the solution put in the barrel and use a clean brush and start Bluing 

It should start to change as soon as you put it in Bryan 

Hope this helps mate

I've gone cheapo easy route and bought some 16mm i.d carbon tube chamfered one end slightly so the silencer only just holds it on and plenty of oil under the tube on the barrel. It's a bash about rifle so will end up knocked and wet. It's absolutely singing at the min with aadf 16grain.
