Blasting of Lugers during refinishing

[DavidJayUden]

It sounds like what is offered as a matt blue finish. No buffing is required, just blast it and blue it (or black oxide) for a darker, almost matt black finish. Cheaper to do because less labor-intensive. I've only seen it done in conjunction with salt-bluing.
It does make a nice finish, just not "Luger nice".
