advice on bluing .308 barrel

This post will include no advise, only inspiration.

My father retired a few years back. He got bored off his arse and took up many many silly hobbies. One of these hobbies was rebluing lots of his old hunting rifles. They had little to no value and no chance of becoming rare so he did not care. He had no experience doing this and very limited gun smithing experience. He read up online, watched YouTube videos, and went to town. It took trial and error but he got it down quickly. All of his guns turned out great and look brand new.

Again, sorry for the lack of advice but just wanted to throw it out there that it is very easy to do. Good luck!

I have read numerous articles, watched the videos and it seems very tedious and time consuming. I’m going to look into the Blue Wonder Kits, the Birchwood process guide is like a novel. Thanks!

I do not know the full difference between hot and col bluing but I do know that my father used a torch to heat his up till it was red hot. This might still be considered cold bluing but it looks great and he did it at home in his spare time.
