What Is Bluing?
Bluing is a chemical process that creates a protective oxidized layer on steel gun parts, helping resist rust while offering an attractive, uniform finish. While bluing won’t prevent corrosion on its own, it works in tandem with regular oiling and cleaning to keep firearms protected and functional.
Our Bluing Services in Orlando, Florida
Hot Bluing
Hot bluing is the most common and efficient method for producing a sleek, durable finish. It involves submerging firearm parts into a heated solution of salts and chemicals that produce a deep blue-black surface.
- Modern hunting rifles and handguns
- Defensive firearms
- Heavily used working guns
- Full firearm restorations
Slow Rust Bluing
Slow rust bluing is a time-intensive, traditional technique used primarily for high-end, antique, or collectible firearms. It creates a rich, soft luster and superior corrosion resistance.
This method is ideal for:
- Vintage sporting rifles or shotguns
- Collector-grade firearms
- Firearms requiring a more authentic, period-correct finish
- Firearms with soft soldered parts or delicate construction
