Anyone have any suggestions on a good place to have a couple of old firearms re-blued to factory spec? I have a 1906 and a Model 12 that I put new walnut on and I'd like to make them look like new again. Glenrock Blue looks like a good outfit, but I'm open to anywhere with good quality work, fast turnaround, good prices.

You know what they say, you can have it fast, cheap, and high-quality, pick 2 out of the three...…..

I'm most concerned with quality, but prices and turnaround times vary pretty wildly within similar quality ranges. Looking for a good firsthand recommendation.

You would certainly want someone that doesnt buff the sheet out of it and keeps all of the edges and corners sharp. Maybe a restoration guy vs a bluing guy.

I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger! There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

I have a 1943 Winchester Model 12 16ga. I’m pretty sure it has been reblued, and an excellent job. My question is do the companies that reblue stamp their work?

I do it for a living. Fast turn around time and good price to boot. Shoot me a message if interested.
