Is there a difference between “Blue “and “Blued”?

No. Same thing. But computers don't deal well with any variation. It's like a bullet mold vs a bullet mould. Search for one and you won't find the other. People spell things in different ways that may or may not be wrong.
 
and GB used to have a 'Manufacturer' for Smith & Wesson and S&W which was a pain
 
Just the "d"....which means the gun is male.....

Your silly. Sheeeeh, didn't you learn nutt'n in skool. The "D" has nothing to do with the sex of the process. Now pay attention: Blue and blued indicates a state of mind. For some reason the "Blue" gun has had it's feelings hurt and is in a frump. A "Blued" gun is no longer in a frump and is recovering it's attitude. Like an M28 a "Blued" gun means business, and you'd better watch out if it comes out of it's holster.

What Llance said..........but, first, you must consider certain other nuances beyond frumpiness. Consider:

Blue is a color. Blue is a noun. But "to blue" something turns the noun into a verb. Thus, you can perform bluing on your firearm or if someone else did it then it has been blued. Moreover, blued is either an adjective or an adverb depending on how it is used. You can then refer back to the Llance definition and be sad, or moody, down in the dumps or, you can be a great rock-n-roll band, the Moody Blues.

See what you started? :D
 
To me, “blue” is a color, which may result from the standard controlled rusting process or another process like Cerakote. “Blued” specifically means the specific finish. But people use the terms interchangeably, which is fine. :)

Cerakote :( :eek: is not a process like bluing, it is a coating just like paint, and is used to protect the base metal from the elements.

Bluing is a chemical process, wherein a chemical is used to attack the surface of the metal to change its surface appearance without affecting the internal integrity of the metal.

Seeing one on a gun makes me and the gun blue, whereas seeing the other on a gun changes me and the gun from blue to blued. :D :cool:
