Review: Great for aging brass. - Excellent. I used it to age some brass on a flintlock rifle and it worked perfectly. ## Features - non-returnable (hazardous) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00IYZBWC8 | | Air Gun Power Type | Spring-Piston | | Barrel Material Type | Aluminum | | Best Sellers Rank | #46,587 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #123 in Gunsmithing Tools | | Brand | Brownells | | Brand Name | Brownells | | Color | Blue | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,131 Reviews | | Frame Material Type | Plastic | | Included Components | Formula 44/40 Instant Liquid Gun Blue for Steel | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 2.5"L x 1"W x 2.5"H | | Item Type Name | Gun Cleaning Kit | | Item Weight | 0.06 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Formula 44/40 | | Model Name | 082440002 | | Product Dimensions | 2.5"L x 1"W x 2.5"H | | Team Name | Formula 44 | | UPC | 762022610499 | | Warranty Description | Manufacturer Warranty | ## Product Details - **Air Gun Power Type:** Spring-Piston - **Barrel Material Type:** Aluminum - **Brand:** Brownells - **Color:** Blue - **Frame Material:** Plastic - **Item Weight:** 0.06 Kilograms - **Manufacturer:** Formula 44/40 - **Product Dimensions:** 2.5"L x 1"W x 2.5"H - **Team Name:** Formula 44 - **UPC:** 762022610499 ## Images ![Brownell Formula 44/40 Instant Gun Blue - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61yWo7zGRaL.jpg) ![Brownell Formula 44/40 Instant Gun Blue - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61GL20eTnAL.jpg) ![Brownell Formula 44/40 Instant Gun Blue - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71G2Rsl+1qL.jpg) ![Brownell Formula 44/40 Instant Gun Blue - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71oo2cjBI0L.jpg) ![Brownell Formula 44/40 Instant Gun Blue - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Riq5HqMJL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: why is the price of 4440 gun blue 2 times the price of buds gun shope.** A: Because they will charge you $12 for shipping it. **Q: I have a black powder 44 colt that I built from a kit and I want to blue all the metal. will this work on my gun?** A: This product is the best of several "cold blue" products I have used, but mainly for touch up of small areas. It will work best on large pieces if you heat them first with a hair dryer or heat gun. Be sure all traces of oil, even your fingerprints, are removed from the metal before you apply 44/40. Try a second application on small parts first before doing a second coat on the frame and barrel. Since the cold blue is effect an oxidation, be sure to oil everything well when you are satisfied with the coverage. **Q: Is this a liquid or a gel?** A: 44/40 is a liquid. It turns ferrous metals almost black instantly. Takes only a little, so I apply it with a bit of paper towel, sometimes Q-tips. Very satisfying. **Q: Is there enough to do a shotgun barrel?** A: It depends on how well you prep the barrel. I used it on a front sight base where I ground off the sling swivel in conjunction with installing a free float tube. The color wasn't very deep so I did a few coatings. Could be my technique or the cast material of the base. A steel barrel might have a better result. Rock River Arms called this product out in its free float tube instructions. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ really is instant *by J***S on June 28, 2023* from what i had seen online from ppl using stuff like this, not this very brand just a solution to black metal, had trouble getting the parts to come out all the same, one would be covered an the next would be blotchy so i didnt know what to expect. when i cut the foil seal off the tip of my blade was blade when i pulled it back so i knew it worked but didnt see how well it worked til i brushed a little onto a toe clamp i had made an it really was instant an didnt take near as much as i expected. i didnt want to dunk the hole part in the solution so i was just brushing it on an this will be the method i use from now on unless i run across a large part or something but this stuff works really well an if ur looking to black some metal parts this works. buying it in small 2oz bottles is probably not the best way if u have alot of parts or large parts but i will be sticking with this brand. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for aging brass. *by M***E on February 28, 2025* Excellent. I used it to age some brass on a flintlock rifle and it worked perfectly. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good touchup blue for small areas… *by G***O on October 7, 2025* This is a good product for small touch ups…not good for larger areas in my experience. I build 1911 pistols as a hobby and find this works well for areas I’ve filed to fit. For larger areas the Creme version is much preferred. ## Frequently Bought Together - Brownell Formula 44/40 Instant Gun Blue - Brownells Oxpho-Blue Liquid Gun Blue, Cold Bluing Solution, Gunsmithing Tools Maintenance Cleaning Supplies, Professional Grade, 4 Fl oz.
