Great video. Forty years years ago I worked as an assistant in a gunsmith shop where one of my jobs was to help with the hot bluing using caustic bluing salts. Like you we used WD-40 to prevent rust after removal from the bluing tank. Our safety precautions were a little less refined years ago. We wore safety glasses and elbow length rubber gloves. We also had pretty good ventilation. We generally did hot bluing every couple of weeks, bluing perhaps a dozen or two dozen guns each time, taking several hours. After an hour or two the bluing solution began to splash a bit as we frenetically were moving barrels, receivers and small parts in and out of the bluing tank. Discolored parts were sometimes the result of too high a temperature and those parts had to be repolished. Parts we didn't know were castings, like your 37A receiver would turn purple. And the occasional aluminum part that we were unaware of was a very different kind of disaster. One of my least favorite memories of hot bluing was cleaning up afterward and realizing that the small amount of bluing solution that splashed inside out gloves would make our skin feel soapy. Hot caustic bluing made me appreciate the much more refined and sedate rust blung that we did as an every day and on going process. Again this was a great video. Keep up the good work.

I think you definitely deserve an award for your presentation here! To keep up a meaningful cometary while juggling with boiling caustic salts is an art! I know the result of that boiling salt dropping on organic substances will lead to large holes appearing in whatever it touches, the big priority in bluing is the initial finishing, far too many people use the "good enough" approach, but as you prove here, with your clinical clean preparation it pays dividends, the finish you achieved here is excellent, the Colt Walker came out really well and will be a good candidate for your colour case process, but ,as you know, the cylinder of the Walker were never blued, but this one looks to have taken very well. Please do not worry about negative comments, they are made by people that have never done anything, but they heard about it from a bloke in the pub! Keep on enjoying yourself as you obviously do!

You're right on the money with the name. Admittedly, it's not a good gun oil because it gums up over time, but it works well for this application. Brownell's warns not to use it to stop the rusting/bluing process, but I think they're just trying to sell their own water displacing oil. Of course, Brownell's costs almost 5 times as much as WD-40.😬

You can try backing the heat down a bit, might eliminate the plum color. Then again I've never hot blued a carborized or cased part, just through hardened parts that plum out like springs and firing pins and the occasional hard barrel fitting or some such. Brownells will tell you you can back the temp off to about 260F and that should help reduce or eliminate the muddy plum tones. Also the plum can be just surface film that wipes off. As you use the solution, you'll notice this film more frequently. Again it just wipes off. Vettepicking beat me to the homemade salts formula. I used the same Ace Hardware salts formula and it works wonders. Perfectly viable. Full transparency: I quit hot salts. My tank blew out. I scraped all the salts off the bottom prior to and while heating. At boiling I was confident nothing remained on the bottom and all the material was broken up. I took a phone call, maybe 15 seconds in and heard a thump. Somehow salt either came to rest on the bottom or I missed a spot probably in a corner in spite thorough scraping. Either way the tank was vacated. Maybe 1/2 gallon remained in the tank, the rest dispersed around my bluing shed. Had I been standing there, I do not think my full face shield would have saved me. Not with 4 1/2 gallons of boiling caustic salt blasted out. You must be exceedingly mindful of this stuff. And even then there are no promises. I wasn't a rookie nor was I complacent. I call that call an act of God. That phone call may well have been my tatter winged body armored guardian angel getting me away from there. There's hazard pay for my angel, we gonna have a lot to talk about when I'm owning up at the gates.

Therefore I blue my parts with old slow rusting method, yes I have to repead several time the boiling and rusting... but I belive it give a much beatiful results... not as durable as "parkerization" (I thing this is the name of your procedure), but I like it better, it gives a realy nice blue to the parts, and is more adequate to my old damascus shotguns.

I think at 280 degrees, the pores of the metal open up and take the blue better, is that the case ? How well do you polish before bluing? using 220, 400 or 1000 grit sand paper or carding wheel ?
@thecinnabar8442 Жыл бұрын
About 15 minutes in the degreaser and 15 minutes in the bluing tanks. The degree of polishing is up to the customer. For these lower end guns, we bead blasted them to produce a matte finish. The finer the polish, the more time it takes and the more expensive it gets.

It depends on the age of the firearm. The majority of firearms have been caustic blued since the 1930's. Prior to that, a variety of bluing methods were used including rust bluing which was primarily used only on barrels and magazine tubes. Caustic bluing is the method of choice today for the vast majority of blued firearms. Of course, a lot of manufacturers now use alternate finishes such as Cerakote.

I think you did a wonderful job with the rust bluing. But my only complaint is that you blued the cylinder on that Colt Walker. Which is not a big deal, as it gets done a lot, it’s just not seen as being historically correct due to how Colt never blued that one part because of the time limits to meet production demands. It is still correct in the regards that if production demands had allowed for it, then Colt would have blued them. And that’s not to say no one ever blued them later on.

It's not like this was an original Colt Walker. It was a customer's cheap reproduction. He paid for it to be finished the way he wanted. I don't make those decisions on a customer's gun. If it's something I strongly disagree with, I just don't take the work.
