    Handgun bluing

    Gentlemen: I have a Ruger GP100 6" .357 that I would like to dress up a bit. Can anyone recommend someone who can do a quality polish and blue job on the Ruger. What I would like is something comparable to the 50's and 60's S&W bluing on their K frame target guns. Thanks Nick

    So do I. This particular specimen, a S&W model 19-2, cost the customer $150. Assuming typical Ruger service revolver finish (lots o' grind marks), your gun would probably run closer to $200 by the time it was polished & blued. Plus shipping, of course. PM me for more details & more pics.
