Can anyone recommend a high quality gunsmith that could reblue a blaser combo gun? The gun is a BD880 in 20 gauge, 22 hornet, and 7.65 r.

I have a friend that has one that he wants to have refinished.

Thanks

The newer Blaser barrels are nitrided, not sure about the older ones. Might make a difference in bluing. Griffin & Howe might be an option.

Won’t stick to the nitride…

Ford’s plating in Florida does very good work. Some processes they farm out but everything I have seen come out of their shop has been wonderful.

Any Blaser since the R93 is nitrided on the barrels. I am not sure what kind of process it takes to remove that finish.

Blasers of the 80's have really gawdy looking aluminum receivers that are usually prepared with a strange finish. Best practice would be to cerakote it.

Is this a drilling?

Bockdrilling to be exact?

Rare cat.

The new Blaser bockdrillings are $10,000.

His is a 20 gauge over 7x65r with a 3 rd barrel that is a 22 hornet.

The ones I got are traditional drillings, a 12 gauge over 7x65r bbf and a side by side double barrel gun that is 16 gauge and 7-57r

His is a rare cat, yours is common stuff.
