  • Mr. Horace Kephart 4/37/33 - 3 - and oiled with a heavy oil. The inside of the barrel is then wiped out and greased. The result is a very black, very even, and lasting coating of blueing, and you can take my word for it that he turns out a fine job. The whole operation of blueing requires about fifteen or twenty minutes and requires no equipment at all, excepting the heating arrangement and the receptacle for holding the water, which must be long enough to hold a rifle barrel or any other part of the weapon which is to be blued. The parts which are not blued are not rusted because hot water will not rust steel especially during the short time that the part is in it. Smaller parts may be blued in exactly the same manner and with somewhat less trouble because as long a receptacle is not necessary for holding the hot water, I have no interest at all in promoting this affair other than the fact that it will be of value to a good many shooters to know how to blue odd parts of firearms when this is necessary, Very truly yours, Ffv Ufs^ 4<l&lsz^fi' f [^C0~*- U f^M. -**'* »~~r^ CSL*EVM
