Shooters Choice Complete Gun Bluing Kit - SHF-GBL for Professional Firearm Restoration

The Shooter's Choice Complete Gun Bluing Kit is a cold-blue touch-up and restoration system designed for gun owners and gunsmiths who want to restore or maintain the finish on steel firearm components. This two-part process bonds chemically to bare metal and produces a durable, factory-quality blue finish—making it ideal for refreshing worn spots on heirloom rifles, bringing life back to inherited shotguns, or maintaining your working firearms between deep restorations.

Cold bluing has real advantages over traditional hot-rust bluing for field work and minor restoration: it's safe to apply at home, doesn't require heat or special equipment, and lets you work on a piece without stripping the entire gun. The kit includes everything needed to get started—applicators, microfiber cloth, steel wool, and scour pads—so you're not hunting for tools before you can begin. Shooter's Choice formulates this kit to bond reliably and cure to a finish that matches factory blue in appearance and durability, provided you follow their prep protocol exactly.

Coverage is generous: the kit supplies enough product for up to three complete re-bluing jobs or dozens of smaller touch-ups, making it a practical investment if you work on multiple guns or anticipate future maintenance. Success depends on strict adherence to the included instructions, especially the preparation step. Do not use acetone, solvents, commercial degreasers, or rust removers on the metal before applying Shooter's Choice blue—these leave residues that interfere with bonding. Use only the Gun Cleaner Gel provided to prepare the surface.

This kit appeals to shooters who understand their guns and want control over the refinishing process, and to gunsmiths building a complete restoration arsenal. If you've inherited a gun with worn finish or you're restoring a project rifle, this system gives you factory-quality results without the cost or downtime of sending work out.
