    Find a competent gunsmith near where you live. He can fix you right up.

    The frame is the place to blue the gun, it doesn't work so well on the wood.

    I depends on what your bluing and if you want it to look original. Most gunsmiths will use a modern blues which are black not like the old time blues which actually are blue in color.

    Don't destroy the value of a rare collector piece. If you wanna touch up a few spots, cold blue works O.K. I did a Colt .44 kit and it turned out pretty well. A professional job will cost$$$$. Welcome aboard and don't pay attention to the catty answers. It is getting late and their Jim Beam is getting to them. Semper Fi.

    It depends. You need to tell us the make & model, & what are the problems in the finish that you think warrant rebluing. In many cases, you will want to renew the original metal texture, contour, & stampings before you reblue.

    But, if price is not a concern, & you want the best, talk to these folks:
