wonder if you could do the jeweling then blue it after that

Awesome👍👍🖐

Thats off the scale quality as youd expect on a Turnbull.

O-ring trick is genius, thanks for sharing

Do you not plug the the barrel so you don’t blue the inside of the barrel and chamber?

What keeps it from rusting?

Could you do a spiral pattern?

Great job so interesting

I have not. But This method works perfectly fine for me, so I haven't tried an alternative method. If I had a heater though I would give it a shot.

Have you tried using a magnetic induction heater as a means to better focus the heat by chance? I’d love to hear your thoughts

I have always loved the looks of color case hardening. Thanks for showing👍🏾

The wire brush was interesting, I have to try that next time. I have used a rubber tip before, plus grinding paste.

How much would this job cost? I have a 742 I need done?

Beautiful work! Jeweling adds a touch of class to any metal project; I'm working on a couple small copper sheets for trim in remodeling our 1986 vintage kitchen. JB Bore Cleaner works great on soft metal with a 1/2" Dremel polishing tip and Dremel drill press. The only turnbolt rifle I have left is the Mossberg .22 that my late brother used to impart the basics of safety and marksmanship to my much younger self some 66 years ago (rheumatoid arthritis has dictated soft recoiling semi-autos for my small centerfire stable). I've toyed with the idea of turning the flats of the hammer and trigger on my SP-101. Thanks to your generosity in sharing a bit of your hard earned knowledge and craftsmanship the only things barring the way are a dozen or so higher priority projects. Retirement is never boring. Thank you and God bless!

What can one expect to pay for this service?

Dude stole the ramaken from Applebee's to mix his grinding compound.

Fascinating, I've never seen hot blueing done before, the parts look great!

That's crazy gorgeous looking. The patience and skill level is very apparent. Cheers

Be great if you listed the exact parts used, brush, orings, paste, etc. if your getting from brownells the part number too.

you can heat the stock over a stove eye carefully and the oil will bubble out on the opposite side where you can wipe it off, takes a long time to do and many paper towels. and you have to be quick. have your paper towels already stacked up off the roll

It looks great, but I'm more excited by :D _Two_ o-rings! I dunno why I hadn't reconsidered using _two_ after needing to switch to waxed-cord over _one_ o-ring the last time the brushes in my carpet-cleaner got far too soft. Thank you; this could save me so much -time and- effort ... :/ if I remember to get hundreds of o-rings before I need them... :I and the second ring stays in place without being ground into the carpet... :) Still making a note to try, I'm certain that whoever uses it next will let me know.

Where can you buy the clips? I got a remington model 4 30-06 .

The flaking you spoke of on the other receiver "could" have been caused by the bone charcoal being just a bit moist from sitting out in the shop.

I guess that is a b sguare jig and no longer available?

I can remember my pop using pen erasers in a drill press to do this. I went through school with eraser-less pens!

And Savage Model 99's! At least my dad's later 284Win has it. I just found out from a couple people that you were in Buxton! I have seen your work over the years and was always impressed but never knew you were right close! I'll have to stop in some day.

I've always wanted to see how that was done. Thanks.

Another thing one could do afterwards is degrease the entire barrel and give it a few coats of boiled linseed oil. Iron workers that build yard art have been protecting metal for decades with it.

That 320 grit wheel looks like it's stitched.

I will call you soon to discuss the details of my favorite.

I have a Stevens favorite that had the tang and the lever cut by an idiot. Anyway I welded and reshaped both pieces and I was wondering if it could be color cased and what something like that would cost. I put a Remington 511 barrel upside down on it and made an extractor out of mild steel and case hardened it with Kasenit. I also made new screws and a firing pin and made all new pins and tightened up the linkage. I plan on making custom sights and installing them and I already have the walnut I will make the buttstock and forend out of. But I don't have the experience or equipment to do the finishing, especially the color case hardening. And this gun is worthy of the kind of quality that you exhibit.

Can't stand the smell of hoppies on my hands

Najs

you can also use a aluminium rod with liege pad and sand paper 1000 and a litle bit fine oil

A stainless Beretta 92 barrel would look good.

Always wondered how it was done. Now I know Thanks

Wonderful!,,

Thanks for the education

Nice polish

Nice finish. I rust blue most things because it's not near as caustic and the rust finish is more durable.

allso called engine turning

Do mine!…Do mine! To bad that receiver had some weird sand marks like someone put it on a belt grinder a didn't polish it out.

Does anyone know what bluing process was used by Winchester for Mod70 rifles in 1947? Rust or Hot Dip? Beautiful job on that Remington, really nice.

Great job thanks for the all the good information.

That turned out really nice. Is denatured alcohol the best degreaser or are there others such as acetone or mineral spirits that also work? Very informative video, thank you!

Beautiful outcome Now I understand why it costs so much to have this done. Thanks

Okay, who else out there misses the days when craftsmanship like this was considered the Quality Norm rather than the exception? Remember anything and everything ever built using American-engineered and American-manufactured electric motors? How the machines they drove lasted multiple generations, and then after 87 years continuous duty the motors were disassembled, cleaned, lubricated, given new commutator brushes, and then put back into service for another three or four generations after the shells were stripped and repainted? It's the electric motors I remember the most. I have an original Baldor buffer that sounds like a choir of angels when running and requires about two minutes to come to rest after switching off. The original HVAC blower motor in my house was still going strong when the entire HVAC system had to be replaced (for other reasons) after forty years of continuous service. Anyone remember stuff like that? It was everywhere, all the time, and it was our Baseline Expectation for everything in our lives. Boy, it did my old heart a lot of good watching this craftsman turn out (okay, pun intended) a beautiful piece of truly functional equipment in the current environment of the cheap Chinese slap-dash manufacturing garbage with which we're being inundated today. Thanks for this, Turnbull.

Very nice, wish I could get some of my guns done by you.

Wow! That turned out gorgeous!

Man that came out incredible!
