shawn: paul's narrative states:

My shop consists of a 2-flr. building with the 2nd floor being the “showroom” retail area and the 1st floor being the workshop. An addition is being added this summer to enable us to have a separate bluing room. We have a Bridgeport milling machine, a Hendey lathe as well as a small toolroom lathe for smaller turning. Bluing preparation is by buffing / polishing for a blued finish as well as glass-beading for those desiring either a matte hunter finish or in preparation for parkerizing if so desired. We also do rust-bluing for those firearms, ie. Older double barrels, Stevens receivers, post-64 Winchesters, etc. that must be done by this method(unless you want a purple-tinted gun!). Browning and nitre bluing of guns and parts is also handled, as well as spring making, tempering, etc. Case coloring is accomplished via acetylene which gives a handsome finish without the risk of heat distortion, warpage, or untempering of the steel possible when case coloring in a furnace at 1400 degrees.

paul is talking about what he does in his shop, which may not necessarily be what old ed does in his shop...i will try to find out more specific info as to what he means by acetylene. it is most likely the source of heat used to fire a kiln. there is no mention of chemicals, one way or the other.

paul's web site is most interesting. i have met him a few times and was favorably impressed.

thanks for info. ed

Stay away from this "Paul Johnston" cat I got a real good screwing on a Drilling I purchased from him.

postoak: it would be far more ethical of you to take your problem up with paul directly, don't you think? after all, its kind of a cheap shot to bad mouth him here, where he has no opportunity to respond?

I did - guess what? He is a scammer,I suspect he may be a Protégée of yours and that Landers hacked on the Drilling in question.

Quite a few members of this board know me personally and althought they may question my taste in firearms, they don't question my integrity; many of them have also seen the Drilling.

Tell you what. Give us the address and phone no. for Mr. Landers place of business, along with a nice photo of you and him together in front. I'm sure he would gladly oblige since you are such a good customer. Should clear things up nicely.

Well enjoy what you "got" because it will be the last you three ever get from me.
