Good day all
I came into a pretty nice rifle recently but the bluing is really worn.

Can you please recommend a gunsmith that has done a good job for you?
While the chap that did my last rifle did not do a terrible job I wasn't all that impressed with the result.

I'm in Alberta but willing to ship my rifle anywhere.

Thanks

Re-blued a couple of revolvers for me. I was very pleased with the end result.

Gunnar doesn't do the actually bluing work. Someone called Jim Ford does.

To see a sample of his work, scroll through this armco-guns.com/guns-accessories-for-sale/long-guns and find the model 1894.

My revolvers took about 1.5-2 months as I recall. Probably just depends upon how busy the guy is.

Ask Gunnar.

I have never had any issues with turn around time with them. Had a couple revolvers re-blued and a couple 1911s tuned. The only transaction that went bad was one that was pending when the door alarm fiasco occurred. Gunnar made it right.

There's a fellow in NS that has a page on Facebook called "Langille's Custom Guns" or something similar. Does nice work at reasonable prices. Can't speak to wait times though.
 
There's a guy out by Rocky Mountain house that does hot bluing. He did my mg34 and Suomi and they turned out good
The place is called Dons gunsmithing
