there are actually alot of guys (non gunsmiths) doing it with pretty good results. when i started my apprenticeship as a machinist my shop gave me a old hot blueing bath meant for screws and small parts and it does a great job on anything shorter then a about a foot. try giving a few tool and die places near you a call, they might have something big enough for a barrel and reciever.

Oh yeh, if your going to glass bed the action, do your bedding before the Duracoat. Epoxy bedding compound and Epoxy based paint will weld the gun to the stock. Found that one out the hard way, ended up having to cut the stock with a dremel and then chipping the bedding compound off, sand blasting the gun and doing it all over again.
