4.0 out of 5 stars Good info for home blueing, December 11, 2001
By 
David E. Root (Scottville, Michigan United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Firearm Blueing & Browning (Hardcover)
Very good info but very technical. This is more of a cookbook then a novel. It does explain everything including measurments and chemical names but is very dry reading. Please keep in mind that this title is 90 years old and the style reflects it. The fact that it is still around after so many years tells all you really need to know in regard to it's value as a reference.

1.0 out of 5 stars Why is this book being reprinted?, March 19, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Firearm Blueing & Browning (Hardcover)
I bought this book expecting to set up a homemade gun bluing operation in my home and was disappointed.

The chemical formulari were archaic and unusable (most of the chemical names used went out of vogue 50-60 years ago).

The book does not include plans to build bluing tanks of drying rooms; book only offers a brief description.

It left me, "the advanced do it yourselfer" lacking and I do not undertand why so many people rave about this book.

I do not think it should have been reprinted.

It did not help me at all

2.0 out of 5 stars Old and out of date, September 20, 2005
This review is from: Firearm Blueing & Browning (Hardcover)
The print is very small for older eyes and the book was written many years ago. The blueing and browning techniques of today are far easier and simpler to use.
I would not recomend this book for reblueing modern firearms.
