HOT BLUING

Hot or factory style bluing is an extensive process designed to color and protect the steel on your firearm for a long time. Over time, moisture, chemicals and routine handling remove that protection and make it subject to tarnish, rust and, eventually, pitting.

The Shooter’s Roost uses an extensive process to create or recreate a new and durable finish that, with proper care, will last for years. This process includes any or all of the following steps:

Complete disassembly and inspection of parts
Grease, rust and “crud” removal
Bead blasting (depending on condition and desired finish)
Polishing with one to five different grit polishes
“Hot soap” oil and polish removal
Thorough cold rinse
Hot blue
Thorough cold rinse
Hot rinse
Water dispersing oil bath
Wipe down and oil
Reassembly

The length of time required to perform these steps can vary greatly depending on the type, age, style and condition of the firearm.
