Gun Bluing

At McCluskey Arms Co., we offer expert bluing services to restore and protect your firearms. Bluing is a traditional finish that not only provides a classic look but also offers excellent corrosion resistance. By creating a protective coating with a tight molecular structure, bluing holds oil and prevents rust from forming on the metal.

  • All bluing services are subject to a disassembly fee and require at least 1 hour of surface prep charged at $100 per hour. Surface prep hours are dependent on the sheen chosen. Sheen options are listed below.

  • Our revolver bluing service is available for $250, providing a classic, durable finish that resists rust and wear.

    For pistols, we offer bluing at $300, ensuring a sleek and polished look that also offers superior protection.
