I don't think David is going to be doing any Single Action Army Colt 'hard steel' Cylinders or Antique Winchester Frames, therefore 625-650 should be a good temperature for his trials on LC Smith parts. Softer steel LC Smith trigger guards and forend irons look real nice at these temps, as they were not 'bright charcoal blue' colored originally. The temperature is an easy variable that he can play with.

I recommend the Brownells Nitre Blue material.

Best,
