BARREL BLUE/BLACKING

Does anyone know "no guesses"  How do the major gun manufacturers Blue their barrels. I am aware of the slow rust system and I do this, but it's so time consuming I cant see them doing it/ Hot chemical is also a way but not on soldered barrels.

Anyone know for sure please.

I can tell you how Colin Wild used to do them bless his soul and that was a hot bath of water and his chemicals, and a bloody good job he made too!

Thanks. What major manufacturer did he work for?

He was at Benjamin Wild in Price Street Brum. He took in barrels from all around the UK and blacked for other gunsmiths.

Spent many a happy time in Colin's shop. Nice man and a very good barrel blacker.

Came as a real shock when he passed away.
