I have a barrel only 18 1/4" long that needs to be blued. No polishing necessary.....just turn it blue-black. Oxpho blue won't touch it so I'm assuming it's stainless. No rush either.....add it to your next bluing jobs. Please respond VIA PM /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

Bluing stainless take a special salts and it's own bluing tank. Not the same as regular bluing salts.  Doug Humbarger NRA Life member Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club 72'73. Yankee Station Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo. | |||

do it the way the companies did electroplate it with either iron or copper and then hand blue it . setting up a tank should cost you meh, 20 bucks .. you likely have a charger with trickle charge anyway -- DO plug the barrel -- opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

Here is a quote from Blacknitride. /////////////////////////////////////////////// cost is $250.00 and lead time is 7-10 business days for Blacknitride. We cannot do the black oxide or Bluing on the stainless so that would be your only option with us. //////////////////////////////////////////// Still no reply from the folks in New Berlin (Milwaukee) /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

Not sure if George is still working but I had him blue a ss M70 several years ago and he did a great job. https://gunblue.homestead.com | |||

If the purpose of stainless steel is to prevent rusting, is not overlaying that metal with another that will rust counter-productive? Why even have a stainless barrel to begin? I do agree they are not attractive and reflect too much. | |||

So who did you decide to go with? Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||

Many years ago I had Heatbath Corp. of Ohio "blue" a Hart SS barrel and was very satisfied with their results, delivery time and price. I don't know if they still perform this service but another possibility for you. Good luck, Ed Edward Lundberg | |||

I received the barrel back from Denny Powell yesterday......it was likely in my mail box for a week but I was on Lake Superior fishing that long. The barrel is spectacular......a light matt effect but a dark deep blue-black finish. I couldn't have asked for a better result. The price was well under a "C" note including return shipping and turnaround time was also excellent. I find it easy to recommend him. Send him a text at 575-937-4665 and introduce yourself.....he responds to communications quite well indeed. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."
