Services we offer
Caustic Bluing – A durable, deep-blue finish achieved through a hot-salt bath process. This method provides excellent corrosion resistance and delivers a professional, factory-quality appearance. (Ideal for modern firearms in regular use.)
Rust Bluing – A traditional process that produces a rich, deep finish through controlled oxidation. Known for its beauty and resilience, rust bluing is especially prized for double-barrel shotguns, collectible rifles, and heirloom firearms.
Belgium Bluing – A refined form of rust bluing that results in a smooth, satin-dark finish. Favored for high-grade and custom firearms, it combines elegance with long-lasting protection.
Cold Bluing – Traditionally used for touch-ups and small repairs, this method can also be applied across an entire firearm using our specialized process. While more affordable than traditional bluing, it provides a sleek finish and remains a practical solution for maintaining appearance and protection. (Best suited for spot refinishing, but available as a full-coverage service.)
Basic Cleaning – A field-level service that includes cleaning the bore, bolt face, and external surfaces of the firearm. (Best for a quick clean.)
Intermediate Cleaning – An armorer-level service that breaks the firearm down to its major components, with each item carefully cleaned. (Best for hunters and carry guns.)
Advanced Cleaning – The ultimate in firearm care. The firearm is completely disassembled, inspected for worn or broken parts, and each component is meticulously cleaned and lubricated. After reassembly, it is given the TrueShot seal of approval. (Includes a one-year warranty.)
