Who blues actions

[potatoe]

I'm wanting to do a classic build and have decided on a Pierce but I'm kinda wanting a nice blued action for this. Who offers bluing services that does a good job. I'm wanting a nice rich hot blue look.

Thanks!

Ford's or Turnbull are among the best, IMHO.

Hot blue, never! Rust blue for any custom or classic. My Pierce custom has a rust blue. I can show pics later today if you want.

There's a guy with a plan! Slow rust blue is the only way to go. If you don't know what slow rust blue is, you don't know as much about firearms and fine finishes as you think you do. It's not only more durable and visually appealing, it'll out last a hot caustic blue many times over.

Another vote for Turnbull Mfg. I have used them a few times and their work as well as customer service is great.

Glenrock Blue in Glenrock, Wyoming does fantastic work.
They did the rings and bases for Weatherby rifles for many years.

Wow. I didn't know Specialty Part Bluing was a thing. I always did my own. I need to keep this thread in mind next time I want a "pro" job!
