Agree 100%. We have already done two guns for $100 (well, plus propane almost forgot that so... $130ish) and could do several more. Any re-finish needs proper prep so its really just a matter of getting the salts and rinse water up to temp and about 30 mins in the salts.

Looks great. I have got to get me a hot blue set up built. I need one for rifles and shottys.
Go for it, I cant believe I waited this long.
Im already thinking about a more formal setup. Ive got the room in the shop, I can TIG up some tanks.... Gonna price out some sheet steel. You need 4 tanks (3 at a minimun). Fabbing up the tanks is no problem, but the burners and gas distribution would take some careful figuring so as to not blow myself up!!
Ive got an old WASR AK that I would love to blue, and Im sure that if I had the setup, other projects would surface, Not to mention how much easier pistols would be with the bigger tanks.........
This is a great post and should be stickied. I got a shotgun I need to do this to.

I will be going to MSI to get my burners. The tanks will be easy enough to build. I have a few priorities ahead of the bullying set up.

I hear ya! I will probabbly just stick to doing pistols in pots for a while, but will research what I need for a real setup for when the time comes.
RamRoddoc, Im waiting for those rail gun pics too. mtgldr brought it home and I know he is pretty buisy with work right now but hopefully we will see it soon. I know what he eventually has planned for it and it will be really nice.

Guns look good!! Nice work
Looks great! I've thought about doing a home hot blue set up before, but never invested the time and money... This has really inspired me!
Nice work!
Nice work!
I have a couple to do how about an ODT hot blue party?
This is really cool, I booked marked the recipe for a few projects I am contemplating.
