This is from Gunblack in Interlaken, NY (
http://gunblack.com/ ).
Comments are welcome about the value of given prices. Largely, this is for gunsmiths and restorers who will send parts already prepped. Though disassembly, prep, and reassembly are the hard parts of a refinish, Steve will ensure a dynamite finish within the realms of the processes they carry out. This is high quality work that, I think, Remington uses. They used to rust blue all the Ithaca Gun barrels and receivers, but rust bluing is no longer available.
Sorry, the "handful of parts for a couple interesting beers" trade is not available!
Rich, IIRC, you attempted to contact them a while ago about a project and never got a reply... I asked the owner, but he could not remember your email. You should try again.
