We offer various finishes to suit your need for the rifle. It can either be a coating applied on the metal or a chemical treatment thereof. Bluing is a controlled oxidation process which will give the metal a gun blue colour if the process is followed correctly. By cost implication the normal chemical bluing process is the most cost effective to maintain.

In this process the metal parts are boiled at a high temperature to enable the chemical reaction to colour the metal. The finish you want on the metal should be applied before this process. We offer 3 finished namely Gloss, Semi Gloss and Bead Blasted, of which the semi gloss id the most economical. This chemical is extremely aggressive to lead and the boiling point very close to the malting point of most solders, so any parts fitted by soldering can separate. Sights that are soldered will be re-fitted with screws but Soldered barrels like double barrel shotguns and rifles cannot be blued with this process.

The following images display the different finishes as indicated.

Gloss finish: This finish is not commonly used as it is not always practical on the hunt. It is used on guns where display is more important.

Bead blast Finish: The surface is blasted with 50 Micron glass beads to give you this smooth but non reflective finish.

Semi gloss: This is the most economical finish we offer. It is not as glossy as the polished finish.

Combined: Some customers have also combined 2 finished doing the barrel semi gloss and all other parts bead blasted.

The rust blue finish is obtained by letting the metal rust under control. A mixture of diluted acids are applied to the metal and is then places in a sweat box where a high humidity is generated by heat which forces the metal to rust. it is then boiled in distilled water which changes the red rust colour to black. The surfaced is then buffed softly leaving a beautiful grey colour. The process is repeated until the required black finish is obtained. Because it is a cold process it is ideally used for soldered double barrel guns.

Rust Blue: Gives a beautiful satin sheen finish

Cerakote was specifically developed to be a very hard wearing coat whish works ideally on guns. When applied professionally it is extremely thin and would not effect the function of your firearm. The surface has to be sand blasted in order for the paint to stick which gives it a fairly rough surface. When the heat treatment is done it becomes an extremely hard wearing surface which is practical for hard working rifles. We dont do it in house but we use companies who offer a professional service.
