Please keep in mind that this title is 90 years old and the style reflects it.

Why is this book being reprinted?
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

Old and out of date,

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.
