If you just gotta cold blue, use Brownells' Dicropan or Oxphoblue. I have seen a few cold blue jobs that looked ok, but most look lousy.

If you have someone local who does hot tank bluing, you can often have them just dip the parts for $35-$50 if you strip and polish them. You're going to have to strip and polish the gun anyway to get a half-way decent cold blue job, so you might as well just do it right. It's false economy to put all the work into the job and then try to shortcut on the final finish.
