Description

Bluing is an essential protective finish that seals your gun’s metal with a layer of black rust (iron trioxide), effectively preventing the formation of red rust (iron dioxide) which can damage your firearm. This finish not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your gun but also significantly extends its lifespan.

At McCluskey Arms, we are committed to providing top-tier bluing services that meet your needs and exceed your expectations. Trust us to protect and enhance your firearm with our professional bluing services.

Turnaround time is dependent on the time of year.  At any given time, we have 150-200 guns checked in for service. We are always more busy before and during hunting season.  Typical lead time is between 2 and 6 weeks.
