How/who to reblue a Navy shooter

If you had a hot blue job that did not turn out the color blue you wanted, and this wine/orange colore sure sounds typical of an untrained gun smith, it was a simple matter of not re-polishing if you were happy with the metal surface, de-grease the parts and re-dip ....the gun did not reach proper tempeture, and help there long enough to get the correct blue....seen and corrected this lots of times the last 35 years....
