Me too! I'm just up the road in Lynchburg and have a slide that needs a good dip! ;)

Doyle's gun shop, 208-686-1006. He has been doing my blue jobs for the past 20 years. When I first met him he was doing 40-60 blue jobs a week.

I have hot blued on a Coleman stove with salts I bought from Brownells did it in a rectangular bred pan. Once we got the mix where it looked like thin mashed potatoes at a slow boil it did a beautiful job.
It was the receiver and bull barrel from a Ruger 22 semi pistol so it was easy to polish , it looked great for the next 20 years when it stolen. You might read up on blueing it was not to hard. Metal prep is key to a. Good job.

I know that 2dogs on here does hot blueing. The sights that he makes look very nice.

I’m hoping to get one slide (for a Para Ord 45) blued, and at my age am not likely to do more such jobs. I would hate to pay for the bluing salts for just this one job...
