Remington's Hot Bluing

[Thomas (Tom) Horn aka James Hicks]

You have seen it before...  I just received my two Remington's '58's back from Hoof Hearted.  They are really nice, cannot say enough good about him or his work.  For those of you who have never dealt with Hoof, you are in for a treat.  His work is far superior to other gun smithies that I have had dealings with. He is one straight shooter... there is no BS when dealing with him.  A very good man... something that is hard to find in this day and age.  They have the Kirst Konverter's installed and I did the Loading Gate port cut.  Long discussions with Hoof Hearted thru emails on correcting the SAILS, which I did.  I defarbed them, and at first after defarbing and cutting the loading port and correcting the Sails... I reblued using Wonder Blue... that did not work, so I ordered that stuff from Brownell's called Ortho Blue, and that looked as bad as the Wonder Blue.  I then sent the guns to Hoof for his Hot Bluing.  I am very pleased with the results.  My hat is off to HOOF....Here are pics of the '58's.

HH-  I admit those pics do not do justice for your hard work... it was raining here and I took pics inside... tomorrow I will retake "outside" so folks can see your work.  My apology.  Love the revolvers... thanks a bunch...
