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.

Thank you for this, what was his turnaround time like?

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.

Look up the history of Armco......do a search of this site....you’ll be 200 years old before you see your gun back.....

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
