Gun Bluing in the valley?

Discuss work on firearms; whether that is making yours from the ground up, milling an 80%, putting together a kit, or fine tuning a trigger job.

Gun Bluing in the valley?

#1

Post by leadman1 »

My son has a Ruger MK1 target pistol he wants a high polish blue job done on it. I just bought the Winchester Model 12 16 gauge that was in my estate sale ad. This shotgun is almost identical to my Dad's that I grew up with back in Michigan. I snuck it away back in the late seventies and had it reblued and wood refinished for either his birthday or Christmas. My oldest son now has it.
I want to restore the gun I just bought and have it passed down in the family when I am gone.

Is there a gunsmith in the valley that still does bluing? I can polish the metal if needed.

Mark, on that other site is a fella tincanbandit or something like that, while not local, his work is awesome, reminiscent of the ole boy who used to do it a decade ago, but quit, i seemed to remember maybe azek bought his bluing tanks ect.
anyway, i tried it, and shouldn't have :doh:
