$100 Matte Bluing Service


I’m often asked what can be blued for $100 and what will it look like. The Matte Blue is a flat looking low luster with no gloss which is very desirable for hunting rifles so that they don’t shine or reflect sunlight while hunting. A matte surface is also the most durable and long lasting as it holds microscopic oil drops better which protects the metal and finish.

I charge $100 are for the matte bluing service on most firearms. Some firearms with a multitude of parts may require an addition charge (usually a have hour of labor, $30 for the additional time required to blast and clean parts). The service is a special promo I do which does include disassembly and reassembly. I am happy to do your disassembly and reassembly at my current shop rate of $60 an hour. One advantage of the Matte Blue in addition to the ones mentioned above is that it can correct some of the worst corrosion damage.

As a picture is worth a thousand words, Here are some pics of a few rifles that would cost $100.

Here are some pictures of a Remington model 7 which was left in the trunk of a car for way too long. This type of problem is cause by a lack of proper oil and care and too much moisture. This can happen in your closet or even in your gun safe if firearms are not stored in a dry space with a light coat of oil. I do not recommend storing firearms in soft cases for extended periods as I have seen too many situations where with even a small amount of moisture rust can form pretty quickly.
