Rifles and Shotguns Rust Bluing

Note: Rust bluing is a time-consuming process.  Most guns require from 8-15 treatments, followed by carding away the rust to leave a beautiful black oxide finish.  It is one of the most durable forms of bluing available and will generally outlast any cold and most hot caustic bluing.  It has been used for well over 1000 years. It was found on early Japanese swords.  In Europe it was used on straight razors. When steel firearms appeared, bluing was a necessary step to ensure that they would resist harsh weather without rusting. The investment undoubtedly pays off with the stunning black/brown finish that assures resistance to harsh weather.

• Rifles and shotguns: $350.
• Handguns: $300.
