Thread: Recommended Gunsmiths in New Zealand for hot bluing

Good evening all,

I am researching who best to send my rifle barrel to for re-hot bluing in New Zealand. I was wondering if anybody here has any recommendations and/or have had any personal dealings with any particular gunsmith. And if you happen to have any photos this is a bonus! The last few inches of the rifle barrel in question has some surface pitting, so it will need refinished. I basically need a guarantee that whomever is doing the work can do an immaculate and flawless job, and happy to pay the $$$ to get the right result.

I am attempting to achieve a high gloss deep blue finish on this barrel to match the receiver finish, which is also a high gloss deep blue finish.

Many thanks
D
