They do this morning.

Thanks. I've been watching Ebay for a couple of months and also https://usagunsandgear.com/ . I bought three model 10 4" barrels for an average of about $55.00 a piece including shipping. There's a...

My LGS ordered two of the J&G Sales Model 10 gunsmith specials. I intend to "build" a couple of carry weapons. I like the heavy barrels and I'll probably do one 4" and one 3". These guns are both in...

Thanks

I'm going to cross dovetail a shortened model 10 barrel for the front sight. Some of the sights like Novak have a roll pin that is driven thru the sight blade into a hole drilled thru the slide to...

Thanks

I just decided to go ahead and cut the barrel. I used a draw file to remove the lettering and some emery cloth to smooth everything out. After I get it cut and crowned I'll polish and blue. I'm going...

I emailed S & W. No 3" k-frame barrels. They suggested the usual suspects. Gunparts, Ebay, Gunbroker, etc.

I've been pricing the chemicals to do one of the DIY recipe's, and that stuff is not cheap. Enough to make up a gallon will over $50.00. With the rest of the stuff it's gonna mount up. That $95 price...

I live in the South so humidity is always high. I was thinking more like polishing this weekend and having to wait until next weekend to blue. The only guns will be handguns so I'll be using big pots...

You guys have a lot of experience in bluing so this may sound dumb, but I can't really find an answer. All the prep instruction I find ends with putting the parts in boiling water and then straight...

Thanks Jaguar.

Well, I turned up my google machine to full speed, and I think I have resolved my confusion and concerns. There are different requirements under the Gun Control Act ( for regular guns) and the...

Thanks for your replies. I do intend it for personal weapons. The price for a good hot salts job on these guns is just prohibitive. Years ago I had a couple of friends who had small bluing...

Roysha, there are no regs that require any markings on the barrel. But there are a few things that must be on the gun. Some must be on the frame like the manufacturer, serial #, etc., and some that...

Does anyone know how many handguns you can blue with a quart of Dicropan IM? Model 10's, Star BM's, or similar sized.

Thanks for the replies. I'm putting out feelers. Somewhere there is a reasonably priced 3" barrel, but it's not showing up on line. I can't find one for less than $250. Decent model 10's are upwards...

Outpost you are correct. A factory 3" barrel would be the preferred route. I haven't seen one for sale in the last six months anywhere on line unless it had the rest of the gun still attached. Three...

I am considering cutting a 4" model 10 barrel back to 3". This will either split the roll markings or leave them well off-center. Neither will look very good. I thought about draw filing and...

Thanks for the replies. I'll work up to 10 grains and use that as a ceiling.

I have read that Herco is very close to Unique as far as charge weight to velocity - a little more Herco to get same velocity as Unique. Is the relationship the same for relative chamber pressures...
