Worthbest place to have rifle high-polish blued?
I have a barrelled action that I would to have mirror polished and blued(comparable to the old Lawson's Micro-Diamond Blue). Suggestions for the best place to have the polishing and blueing done?
Thanks for your help.

butchlocdepends on where you live. most guys that blue will do a high polish job if you want. just takes more time and buffing, hence more $$. pick someone who is not going to overbuff and ruin the sharp lines of the gun. i do know that ahlmans in morristown mn does a good job on it

RonEYou might give Simmons in Kansas a call. I have had shotguns reblued by them and they do excellent work. Don't know if they do rifles but I suspect they do.

dcdone+1 for Fords. I used them for a barreled action 4 years ago or so and they did a great job. There was some delay, but that might have been a one-time event, as they were moving from one Florida town to another.
