Stainless steel blackening is a standard service offered by some

gunsmiths.
It works by converting the chrome on the surface of the metal to chrome
sulphide in a hot bath similar to the hot black oxide system used for
carbon steel but with different chemicals. www.brownells.com sells the

the stuff you need to do.
