Looking for a gunsmith who can re-blue a shotgun barrel for an over/under. Needs to be near Elberton, Hartwell, Royston or Lavonia general area.
cerakote doesn't require near the prep work that bluing does. When you blue, every little flaw will show up. The bare metal has to be perfect, and then it has to be cleaned of all oil, grease, and finger prints, or that will ruin the bluing.Just so everyone knows.
We wound up taking the gun to Ace Firearms in Easley SC and had them cerakote it. They did a fantastic job at a much lower price than getting it re-blued.

Cerakote doesn't show those flaws thru like bluing does.
I agree and I didn't say it wasn't worth it but, the shotgun was not mine and the owner did not want to spend that much money.

What was the est. for reblueing?
