Hello everybody,
Since iof .32 revolver comes with a painted ( or powder-coated ) black finish. Has anyone ever tried
to get it blued . Or has anyone tried to do blue a weapon at home . I want to get my new iof .32
revolver blued, what is the advise of the other esteemed members .
Regards
Grewal

Dear grewal sir,
please don't do hot bluing yourself as IOF proof marking is very light, & they are again remarked by gunsmiths as all marking almost invisible after bluing solution treatment. & cold bluing finish nowhere against beauty of conventional hot bluing.
Sir contact your nearest gunsmith for bluing
BTW this is conventional example of hot caustic bluing

You can contact Mr Manbir Singh
http://www.gunaccessory.com/32_IOF_Revolver/load.htm .They are Amritsar based and can take care of bluing job effectively ,you can even buy good grips from them. The original finish is more durable but bluing do add on to aesthetics , however it is purely personal choise.
Cheers, James..
