Thanks guys. Loadnplenty, not sure if Im qualified to give any tips just yet, Still at the point where Im suprised when they come out of the salts and look good, LOL. But I hope I can help! Dont think you are too far away, maybe we can blue some guns!
RamRoddoc, I agree, theres just something about a blued gun with wood "stocks" thats just....well, right!

Well, It all started when I got this link from RamRoddoc a few months ago

SO a friend and I got together and broke out the rock Islands and figured "hell, whats the worst that can happen!" we dunked them in the concotion and they came out great!! So Im still learning, and thinking about a bigger bluing setup, but for now this is working great. We blued 4 guns for about $80 including propane this time around.
Theres really not much to it, like anything, its all in the prep work. The hot salts deserve some respect, its 5 lbs of lye and fertilizer in solution well above the boiling point of water, use caution and common sense and its no big deal.
I say go for it!
