[TheForge] Gun bluing & browning (book)

[Bruce Freeman]

I have a book by the title above.  I've glanced through it but never
had occasion to really delve into it.

I'm retired now, and if someone is interested in going to the trouble
to try some of what it recommends, I'd happily assist as an "advisor"
-- namely, owner of the book, owner of a scanner, and a chemist by
profession.  (I'm not a toxicologist, but can probably give you
adequate warning if you're likely to be poisoning yourself -- and how
to avoid doing so.)

I suspect that do-it-yourself gun bluing or browning could be much
cheaper than buying commercial products.  The catch is time and
energy.  Accordingly, this approach is not for everybody.

I'd be interested in the outcome -- maybe you could post before and
after photos of your experiments.  (I would not suggest trying
formulations on expensive objects until you are quite confident of
them.)

Anyone interested?
