well im screwed

[newguy]

i started reblueing my ol mans single 6 for a christmas present and i hvae had no luck. i have had some nice people give me ideas but none have panned out. so i guess i get to call a smith a drop some cash . any clue on what this might run me? the reciever still has the trigger and hammer(and barrel) but thats it everything else was stripped.

As you have found out it's not an easy process, that's why it costs.

are u useing cold blue???? that stuff is ok for a touch up, but if u want it to be done right u have to have it go to someone that will strip it all down and blue it in a salt tank.

 

[newguy]

yea cold blueing can suck my a##. and 300 is not what i want to hear! if thaTS the case i guess it going to be one fubared looking gun cuz i aint got that kinda cash.

 

[palerider0485]

u might be able to get it done for less, blueing is no easy process,

Call up Havlins Firearms Finishing. They are in Indy and seem to be reasonable on pricing.

Maybe you could do it with a DIY DuraCoat kit.

There is a certified CeraKote applicator (Bell Precision Rifles) in Greensburg. Sniper Grey looks very similar to bluing. I had it applied to my Marlin 60 and it looks great.

If you like, I can get you in touch with him. Turnaround time is relatively short right now.

P.S.... it is cheaper than the $300 mentioned above.

 

[newguy]

i really really appreciate the help guys but im 3 hours or more from indy i would like something close by. drop it off after work kinda thing.the ol lady is already pissed that this is costing way more than expected not that im worried about her i just dont want to hear about it.

 

[newguy]

hey guess what i just found a list w/ a couple local smiths. i guess i should look around more. oh hey i found the classifieds too ive never scrolled down that far
