    wow!

    ive suppried, that anyone would take on a blueing job on that gun.
    FYI any item that you bead blast will come out Matte finish.
    we do Nitride, if we do not blast it come out a nice shiney gray/black if we blast it come out a nice dark black.
    Same when we phosphate, im sure that its the same with blueing.

    I think that gun was beyond bluing.

    I've noticed a trend where someone complains about EPPS (warranted or not who knows) then the owner, or maybe a worker there, suddenly post something like "I saw the OP at the store, he was an idiot, they did a good job, we are the best ect ect"

    Amazingly unprofessional way to deal with a problem, I would never deal with a company who dealt with customer complaints like that.

    wow, that gun was beyond and normal blueing and polishing. with the surface that badly pitted AFTER blasting, there is nothing you would have had to have spend $$$$$$ to get the surface smooth then finished.

    the finish is dark, because of the basting. but judging from the after photos, there was no other way to get any finish to stick to corrosion like that. any polishing would just leave very light areas where the metal is smooth and black pits in the craters left from the corrosion.

    Like has been said, blasting makes black.

    A lot of time with sandpaper and a polishing wheel make blue.

    If they got rid of that pitting there would not be a gun left lol.

    I sent Epps an old Marlin 30-30 a few years back and was very happy with their medium grade of finish.

    Epps did their best to polish and blue a turd.

    Maybe the customer had an unreasonable expectation?

    Holy Crap !! LOL
    I think Epps did an excellent job......considering what they had to work with. Is this a Late April fools thing ? LOL
