80's Marlin 336W - Before and After

[JSONLOL]

This Marlin has been in the family since the 80's. It works well but the bluing was getting bad and it was starting to rust, so I decided to send it out to BBC to get it back in shape. It turned out awesome so I thought I'd share.

It's done in Elite Smoke.

So ,, did you take it apart and prep , or do they break down what the cost is to - prep,coat etc

It looks awesome but expensive to me

I threw it in a box and shipped it to them as part of their April promotion (50% off). I got a few quotes from other shops but because levers are so complex there were crazy fee's to disassemble and reassemble.

Edit: See BBC response below about assembly pricing.

They did a good job , what was the total cost ?

[Valendale]

Thats a nice looking rifle, really well done

[Keithjohn]

Can't beat that if they took it apart and reassemble for $50 !!

Did I read that right ?

We try to keep Cerakote quoting as simple as possible. A common complaint we get from clients is that other applicators can't give them a "straight answer" (their subjective language, not mine) regarding pricing. Unless its a promotion (where complex assembly can be labour prohibitive) we always provide free disassembly/reassembly within the scope of work we quote clients for.
