Hot bluing service?

Thanks in advance.....Ocala here.

I have a bolt action rifle I need blued (it's in the white), and need some suggestions.

I know about Ford's over in Crystal River; any other places near here?

I used to use Rebel Gun in Wildwood, but they've long since closed, and I think it had to do with EPA issues over their bluing chemicals and subsequent disposal.

Appreciate the help,
Garrett

there are no EPA issues with bluing chemicals unless you are disposing of them in a local lake or pond

Ford's is the only local cup of tea, bring your own lube and add 3 months to whatever time frame they give you ( former employee ) , we used to offer bluing services but covid doubled the costs of the salts and my bath is past its useful life, so unless you can't live with having it cerakoted in graphie black ( which is the excact ) color match for bluing :mrgreen:

4JLaser in Homosassa is the best guy around offering cerakote workl, we send him all of our customer stuff, fast turn arounds , top notch work
