Cost to reblue a shooter

DonVoigt · 06-21-2017, 10:49 PM

Depending on condition:
rust blue and straw- $300 to $600.
Grip work $40+

Add shipping both ways.

Re-bluing a shooter is not cost effective; neither is doing it yourself "fun", JMHO.
I used to blue guns for money, and it was the worst job I ever had!

Hot blue jobs cost less, still probably $150-250; but are ugly, also JMHO.

Yeah, I realize that a shooter reblued will not be cost effective, but I like purty handguns and since I did not pay much for mine I thought it to be feasible.
