How difficult would it be to rust blue something with hard to reach areas such as a Marlin 336? I am concerned with the ability to card difficult spots. Would 0000 steel wool on a small dowel work? I am exploring my options for doing this at home.

You will have to do some carding by hand. I use a q-tip with some of the cotton pulled off then wrapped with a little steel wool for the hard to get places. The wool sticks to the cotton left glued on better than a plain skewer.
