Default Hot Blue

I managed to dip some parts in my ultrasonic cleaner with brass cleaning solution in it - stripped off the bluing.

So looking to have the whole barrel and some chokes re-blued.

Looking About two decades ago I had a rifle barrel blued by someone in Calgary

Ran his operation out of his basement - Rundle area if memory serves correct. No idea what his name was or if he is still operating.

Looking for any recommendations

Yes! That was him, somehow I remember that name clearly now.

Thats too bad if he passed away, he did really excellent work.

Thank you for the other name

Who makes aluminum barrels and/or chokes ? Are you sure you have your reading glasses on ? OP clearly stated what he needed blued.

LoL

And tagged for reference... Pulled out the Mossberg 930 yesterday after being in the case for 2 years, rusty barrel.

Not sure if I want it blued, or Cerakote. Might get the whole thing done in FDE.
