Slow Rust Blue
I have home blued several guns with a slow rust blue sold by Brownell's. It takes a bit of patience, but is very inexpensive and is a historical way to blue guns. If you have a lot of time to devote to the process, it is a great learning experience and gives great results. The instructions are simple and you can probably get the job done for less than $50. Done by a gunsmith it will cost $300-400. The secret is in the metal prep, polishing up to 600 grit. Taking the gun apart and putting it back together would be the challenge. Hope this helps.
