Good place to have rebluing done around LA?

[Mikeinblack]

I picked up a very nice early Winchester 1897 that had been converted to a Trench Gun from a guy here today. As the transaction area was not the best, I did not cycle the pump until I got home... Apparently the Pump Grip was just installed with screws that were too long, because one cycle scraped the bluing off on all three contact points... My fault for not spending more time checking it out... Anyway, does anyone have a recommendation for a good quality bluing shop in LA? Thanks.

If it's just a scratch - have you thought about doing it yourself - Birchwood Casey Super Blue?
I have done this a few times with great results.

Are you going to disassemble the firearm and take the parts to someone to blue it or are you going to have them do it all?

If it just needs to be touched up you could try Blue Wonder and probably save yourself some money.

I appreciate the ideas. I actually paid a bit for this thing, so I am set on it being "right" when it's done. I guess it really cant hurt to try now though!

If I'm not mistaken, you will probably always end up with those marks on the blueing there. Or you could park it, and end up with those marks on it too.

Save on gas and time, Google "Blue Wonder" gun blue or black, it's way better as most gun shops can do. I myself use it for spot repairs and complete gun blueing and I don't see the diffrence with a new gun....
All you need is a small torch and a complete kit (For Swiss rifles gun black kit). A kit contains super de-ruster and degreaser, gun blue or black and a developer to keep the choosen dark or brightness....
It won't come off like other brands do or you need to sand it...

Success !!
