Well, I thought that's what we'd been talking about.
The Book "Firearm Blueing and Browning" by Angier, available from Brownells is quite informative, but aside from his peripheral description, the only full description available is in an article I wrote in Gunsport magazine more than 30 years ago. Maybe some reader has a copy they will reproduce for you; I gave mine away years ago.
The way you get proficient with this process is to experiment with it and to practice on different types of steel. If you aren't willing to do that, get a hot tank and just dunk the guns, being satisfied with the dead black color.
