Looking for guns in need of refinishing. Ugly, no bluing left, some rust.
Nothing with damaged metal integrity.
Ideally looking for 357, 44 mag revolvers but open to all.

Sounds like a .gov "buy back" add.

Good luck on your search ( and a free bump ). Though it's kind of like walking into a crack house and asking if anyone has any crack they aren't using. When I've asked the only offers are complete piles of crap that someone wants like $800 for. I really do wish you luck. Seems years ago it was easy to find projects.

Those look really nice , That 1895 Marlin came out excellent ! Are you doing any Hot Bluing rifle stuff , Rust Bluing , or just coatings ? Rich

I am just doing Cerakote now. Hot bluing is an art I don’t have time to master.
Cerakote gives the best result for me.
The 1895 made its way into my collection permanently. The dang thing shoots as well as some custom guns I have shot. Staying well under 1 MOA center to center.

Ok , Thanks for that info. I haven't done Cerakote yet , I do some other coatings Like MG Coat and baked Hi-temp coating , Rust Bluing , and small parts hot bluing for now. I need to find or build bigger tanks and burners.

That Marlin looks excellent! I’ve got a Winchester model 94 post 64 that’s waiting to be taken apart and cerakoted. I got it for a steal and other than having a little rattle when the lever is opened up it seems like a solid rifle. Never had a “big boy” lever action before so I’m pretty excited to see how it looks when my gunsmith gets it finished.
