Re-bluing a shotgun

[Triad]

Last year I tried to re-blue one of my 1100's thats pretty damn old. Well needless to say I didn't do a very good job.

I am looking for some recommendations on a professional gunsmith somewhere either in California or elsewhere that I can send the receiver to and have it done professionally.

Anyone point me in the right direction?

Rust blue it!! Buy a bottle of the stuff from Brownells for like $18 and do it yourself. I did it to an AK, turned out an awesome black/gray. Gorgeous, inexpensive, and a really cool experience. There is a thread here showing how to do it. Here ya go: http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s...d.php?t=376334

I had J&G (granite bay CA) do mine a while ago and its held up pretty good. It was pretty inexpensive too, but I hit it at a time that they were doing a batch of others too.

+1 for rust blue, if you have about an hour a day you can do it. And its very inexpensive.

I have found companys specialists that does bluing is the best way.
I do repair, rebulding and customizing, I send out hot bluing to specialists in hot bluing.
You can have good results with cold bluing to save cash.
