Can you blue G&G RK47 magnesium receiver?

Hey all,

Just wondering if anybody knows or has tried to cold blue a G&G RK47 receiver and if it will/has worked?

Granted the finish on the metal G&G AK is pretty damn nice, but mine's got some wear and tear on the finish and I want to go the whole nine yards with my build and cold blue it. I've already outfitted it with real steel furniture, so I want to make it look perfect with a cold blue job. I fell in love with the AK-47 Type III on Avtomats in Action 8O

Just not sure if the magnesium receiver can take bluing all that well.

Any input would be great!

Thanks all

Damn, that sucks. And I thought people didn't like the magnesium receivers simply because they're kind of brittle. Another reason to hate them now. lol

Thanks fror the info vondnik, guess it'll be duracoat then.
