What is Rust Bluing?

Rust bluing is an age-old technique used to protect firearms from rust while giving them a stunning, deep blue finish. Unlike other surface treatments, rust bluing provides a natural and durable protective layer that enhances the aesthetics of the metal.

Why Choose Rust Bluing?

When it comes to firearm restoration, rust bluing offers numerous advantages. Here are a few reasons why you should consider rust bluing for your firearms:

• Exceptional Rust Protection: Rust bluing creates a thin layer of black iron oxide that acts as a barrier, preventing corrosion and reducing the risk of rust formation.
• Traditional Craftsmanship: Rust bluing is a time-tested technique that has been used for decades in firearm restoration. It showcases the artistry and skill of professional gunsmiths.
• Enhanced Aesthetics: Rust bluing produces a rich, deep blue-black finish that adds a touch of elegance and refinement to your firearms.
• Increased Durability: The rust bluing process creates a tough and resilient surface that can withstand wear and tear more effectively than some other finishes.
• Preservation of Original Features: With rust bluing, we can restore the original patina and markings of your firearms, maintaining their historical and collector value.

Our Expert Rust Bluing Process

At Grand River Gunsmithing, we employ meticulous techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to ensure the highest quality rust bluing services for your firearms.

1. Cleaning and Prep Work

First, we thoroughly clean the firearm to remove any dirt, oil, or existing finish. This step ensures a clean surface for proper rust bluing.

2. Rusting Process

Next, we initiate the rusting process by applying controlled oxidation to the metal. This creates a layer of rust that will eventually turn into the desired deep blue finish.

3. De-rusting and Polishing

Once the desired color is achieved, we carefully remove the rust by gently scrubbing the metal surface. This step is crucial in revealing the rich blue hue underneath.

4. Oiling and Sealing

Finally, we apply a protective oil and sealant to preserve the rust blued finish and prevent further oxidation. This ensures your firearms remain protected for years to come.
