Restoration

The process of hot bluing is designed to color and protect the steel on your firearm for a long time. Over a period of time, moisture, chemicals and routine handling remove that protection and make it subject to tarnish, rust and, eventually, pitting.

We use an extensive process to create or recreate a new and durable finish that, with proper care, will last for years. Below is a list of the different hot blue finishes we offer, pricing depends on current condition of the firearm. The more polishing required the more it cost. 

• MATTE FINISH: The gun is bead blasted, then hot blued with Oxiblak. This gives the firearm a non-reflective finish that is most desirable in the field.  Especially desirable to hunters who do not want the glare of a high gloss blued gun.

• FACTORY FINISH:  Gun is finished with 240 grit polish, then hot blued with Oxiblak.. The result is as good or better than most factory guns sold today.

• DELUXE FINISH: The gun is prepared as above and finished with 400 grit polish. This finish gives that deep black finish you find on the more expensive factory/custom firearms.

• MASTER FINISH: Same as Deluxe finish but finished with the 555 series of polishes to a true mirror finish.  We can only accept guns which are in very good condition for this high quality finish.
