Is it possible to fire blue larger parts than just screws and hammers? Are barrels, grip frames and cylinders possible?

Ruger #1s but that is about it. Fire blue is not very scratch resistant and with use begins to look pretty ratty real quick on large parts like cylinders and such. The fire blue or peacock blue as it is also called was the original bluing and the reason it is still called bluing today even though today's bluing is actually a blackening.

small parts like pins and screws and hammers and triggers it doesn't show the wear as quick, but on frames, cylinders and such it starts looking ratty real quick.
and by the way, Fire blue, Niter blue and peacock blue are
