quote> There are two commercial formulas available to blacken and stain stainless steel. Brownell's Oxynate 84 and DuLite's 3-0 salts (which I use). Both are harder to use than straight blueing salts, but they will do the job. I use DuLite to blacken stainless and also for Win 94s between 2,700,000 and 5,024,957. It's also useful for those receivers with a higher silicone content that turn reddish or plum colored with regular blueing. <end quote

we used to offer it years ago, the Dulite process, problem is all too often it comes out about every shade of "dark", except like the factory blued or even the newer "black" finish on Rugers.....remember long ago I did an Old Army, then had a hell of time trying to sell it as it was no longer "stainless", shiny and bright 8) :roll: :wink:

our shop stopped offering it LONG ago, even Walt ( my gunsmith/partner), no longer will do it..............
