[QUOTE="PopNFresh, post: 3018116, member: 122243"] plenty of people still blue, what you're going to run into is cost and lead time. prep for bluing isn't usually the blast finish that you do for park or paint, it's hand polish which takes time. then there's no sense in firing up the tanks for one barrel or gun either, need to wait until there's enough to be worth the smith's time. you could express blue it but I'd want a tank big enough to boil the barrel in at a minimum and that can be fabricated for cheap but still is time and money [/QUOTE]
