Bluing in Colorado

I have a project gun that only requires new bluing for completion. Can any of you suggest someone in Southern Colorado who does this sort of custom work?

See if you can find Elmer Spurger through Gene Taylor Sporting Goods in Grand Junction. If he won't do it he'll tell you who can.

Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..

And, if you want the outside blued but the bore NOT blued, there's a guy in Cottonwood, AZ who Paul Marquart used all the time BECAUSE he does that if you want (and because he's meticulously good!). I don't recall his name, but a call to Dave Scovill at Rifle magazine in Prescott (just over the hill from Cottonwood) would likely produce it.
