THE HOT BLUING SERVICE SHOULD BE PERFORMED EVERY 5-10 YEARS ON ALL 1931 6.35MM FABRIQUE NATIONALE, PSP-25 AND PSA-25 POCKET PISTOLS, DEPENDING ON THE CONDITION OF THE FINISH OF THE PISTOL. 

FOLKS OFTEN INSTRUCT US TO PERFORM THE HOT BLUING SERVICE WHEN THEY ACQUIRE A USED FN 6.35MM, PSP-25 OR PSA-25 POCKET PISTOL. AND THEY OFTEN DO SO AT THE SAME TIME THEY ASK US TO UNDERTAKE THE SPRING REPLACEMENT SERVICE. THEY ALSO PURCHASE SECOND GENERATION, ROUNDED FOLLOWER MAGAZINES AT THIS TIME.

PROJECT SCOPE:

THE PISTOL IS DIS-ASSEMBLED INTO ITS COMPONENT PARTS. PRIOR TO UNDERTAKING RESURFACING AND FINISH, THE PARTS ARE INSPECTED FOR CORRECT DIMENSIONAL TOLERANCES AND FUNCTIONALITY. WE WILL CONTACT YOU BY TELEPHONE TO DISCUSS ANY NON-CONFORMING PARTS OR OTHER ISSUES WE UNCOVER DURING THE DIS-ASSEMBLY PROCESS.

EACH PART IS THEN FINE BRUSH CLEANED IN AN AGGRESSIVE WATER-BASED DETERGENT, AND IF NECESARY CHEMICALLY STRIPPED OF ITS OLD BLUING. IF SIGNIFICANT RUST AND/OR PITTING IS EVIDENT, WE WILL GLASS BEAD BLAST THE AFFECTED SURFACE OF THE PART WITH 1000 GRIT JAPANESE GLASS AND THEN RESURFACE IT TO OEM SPECIFICATION. WE STRIVE TO NEVER ALTER THE ORIGINAL OEM "LOOK" OF THE PISTOL BUT ALL PARTS ARE RESURFACED PRIOR TO HOT BLUING.

THE PARTS ARE THEN ULTRASONIC CLEANED USING A CONCENTRATED GREASE REMOVING SOLUTION, THEN BATHED IN ACETONE FOLLOWED BY A QUICK DIP IN DE-IONIZED WATER. THEY ARE THEN HOT BLUED IN OUR OWN TANKS FOR 15 MINUTES AT 195F DEGREES. THEREAFTER, THE PARTS ARE DIPPED IN DE-IONIZED WATER FOLLOWED BY A GEAR OIL BATH. EACH PART IS THEN INDIVIDUALLY CLEANED OF RESIDUE USING 0000 STEEL WOOL, SUBJECTED TO A HOT WATER-BASED MILD DETERGENT SCRUB, RINSED AGAIN IN DE-IONIZED WATER, BATHED IN WD-40 AND DRIED USING LINT FREE COTTON TOWELS. NOT AS SIMPLE AS YOU THOUGHT, RIGHT?

THEREAFTER THE PISTOL IS RE-ASSEMBLED FROM ITS COMPONENT PARTS, LUBRICATED WITH GUN OIL, BENCH TESTED, LIVE FIRE TESTED, AND GUARANTEED FUNCTIONAL WHEN WE SHIP IT BACK TO YOU. 

THE HOT BLUING SERVICE INCLUDES A 2 OUNCE CONTAINER OF SAFARI CHARLIE'S GUN LUBE, COMPLETE OEM PACKAGING, BARREL CLEANING BRUSH AND ONE OF OUR PSA HATS.

RETURN POSTAGE IS BY U.S. 3 DAY PRIORITY MAIL WITH SIGNATURE REQUIRED FOR DELIVERY.

PLACE IN A SMALL ($9.45) US POST OFFICE FLAT RATE 3 DAY PRIORITY MAIL BOX SO THAT THE PISTOL AND MAGAZINE CANNOT MOVE AROUND INSIDE THE BOX.
