Rebluing service

[Boardwalk72]

Does anyone have a gunsmith recommendation for rebluing a barrel?

I bought a used model 70 custom 470 Capstick that unfortunately has some finish loss and light pitting in a few spots on the side of the barrel from what looks like being left in a case.

The barrel is high gloss, and I think to achieve the best outcome it would be prudent to pull the barrel and have it rust blued.

Depending on where you live, any local reputable gunsmith who advertises bluing services is worth a call. Not all gunsmiths provide that service.

I live in Central WI. Most that I've talked to just cold blue. That would be a disservice to this rifle. I do a fair amount of my own gunsmithing but not blueing.

Same here.....When I need a service or repair that I can't do I just get on the web, swallow hard and search.
