blueing in Ontario

[pcap]

I just got a old winchester lever action made in 1950, I'm thinking of having it reblued, I'm not sure what is best a hot blue or cold blue? I am in the GTA Ontario area, does any know anybody that they would recommend for blueing that is around my area?
Cheers

I have several old Cooey .22 rifles that were passed down to me.

Using a kit I purchased from BassPro I cold blued them myself and the result was pretty good, It was cheap to do and turned out quite well. Youtube has lots of DIY's if you're interested in going in that direction.

Hot blue is best. Cold blue kinda works, but the end result is always inferior to a proper hot blueing job.

Check with Keith Cunningham in Minden. He runs the OSA and MilCun Marksmanship Complex. A very experienced gunsmtih.

I had a lever gun re blued at RK Custom guns, he did an unbelievable job. I have no problem recommending Roger at RK.


Edit: he is in Port Dover

Jason at Gunco in Ottawa does great work. personally hate the stink of any "cold blue" . True "rust blueing" is great, but hard to find someone to do it properly and likely expensive.
