Overview
Built for small-scale hot bluing work, this compact tank is sized for handgun barrels, frames, slides, cylinders, and the other small parts that accompany them. It is intended for use with NitreBlue Bluing and can hold about 17 lbs. of NitreBlue Bluing Salts or 1 gallon of Oxynate No. 7(TM) and Oxynate No. 84(TM) solutions. The black iron construction includes welded seams and rolled edges, with dimensions of 10 inches long by 6 inches high by 6 inches wide. Its size makes it a practical choice when the job calls for bluing one handgun at a time rather than larger batches.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Sized for handgun barrels, frames, slides, cylinders, and small parts, so it is not intended for larger bluing jobs or long components.
- Holds 1 gallon of solution, which means capacity is limited to one handgun at a time rather than batch processing.
- Black iron construction and welded seams are specified, but no additional material or finish details are provided beyond that.
- The compact 10 in. x 6 in. x 6 in. footprint is practical for small parts work, but it also limits working volume and flexibility.
