Take it to a gunsmith that does blueing, cold blueing is junk and wont last. He can add it to another batch and wont cost much.

The smiths around here just replaces parts. I do not know any that will do machine work, much less hot bluing.
I would rather pay shipping than drive an hour, even if there were someone within that distance that hot blues, and I do not know any. |

Here's some good bluing services..........
Ford's. Had some serious problems a few years ago, but may have fixed them. https://fordsguns.com/ APW/Cogan. Possibly the best all around refinisher service, best known for hard chrome but does bluing. https://apwcogan.com/ Glenrock is almost certainly the best bluing there is. http://www.gunbluing.com/ Mahovsky has been around forever. Best known for hard chrome but does bluing. http://www.mahovskysmetalife.com/ Precision is a top line bluer, offers only bluing. https://precisionbluing.com/ |
