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.

  • Our rifle bluing service is available for $300, providing a classic, durable finish that resists rust and wear.

    For shotguns, we offer bluing services at $300 per hour, ensuring a high-quality, long-lasting finish tailored to your firearm's needs.

  • Slow rust bluing is a traditional and meticulous method that provides a beautiful, deep blue finish while offering superior protection against rust and corrosion.

    We offer slow rust bluing services at $180 per hour, ensuring each firearm receives the careful attention it deserves. This time-honored technique not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your firearm but also adds a durable and resilient layer of protection, making it ideal for high-quality restorations and preservation of vintage firearms.

  • Parkerizing is a durable, corrosion-resistant coating that provides a matte finish, making it ideal for firearms that are regularly exposed to harsh conditions.

    Our Parkerize Pistol Slide or Frame service is available for $80, providing your handgun with a resilient, non-reflective finish.
