Re bluing recommendations

[jgrauman]

Anyone have any recommendations on a brand they have used or prefer? i've seen a few, i watched a "blue wonder" video and it looks easy enough, which is why i'm a little hesitant... just want a cheap one i can do myself, don't want to duracoat or anything that involved, just a blue for under $15. I saw a "black" kit at sportsmans warehouse, can't remember the brand name though. anyway, just was curious

All of them do "OK' if you really get all the oil from the surface...anything over about 1/8" of bluing will not give a very consistent finish however as it does not really blend in well with existing bluing.

I recently used Brownells oxpho-blue on a couple old non collectible guns and could not be more pleased with the results. I took both guns down to clean metal with #400 paper and 0000 steel wool. I touched up some holster wear on an old revolver and the match was good.

I would not do it on a high dollar or collectible type gun.
