 Why is this book being reprinted? March 19, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
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

Good information on many recipes for do it yourself blueing and browning that is hard to find.

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.

Very good info but very technical. This is more of a cookbook then a novel. It does explain everything including measurments and chemical names but is very dry reading. Please keep in mind that this title is 90 years old and the style reflects it. The fact that it is still around after so many years tells all you really need to know in regard to it's value as a reference.
