Glad to have you here.  I am sure there are some here that will be interested in talking with you.  There are many of the "Barney" guns out there that could stand a heaping helping of new blue!

Yes I am the man that post rebluing on those sites and you can also check me out at http://www.blueridgebluing.com

I have some pics of after not alot of befores since it is so time consuming to take pictures, if you e-mail me and request some pics I can send you some, and if you bought any of the Dans between 1997 and 2003 that were blued I did them,

WelcomeHello Mark. Welcome to the forums.

I purchased a DW recently that could have used your attention. Unfortunately, that deal had to be rejected. I do have a lead on a Model 15 VH8 that could definitely use some attention, but I haven't made a firm decision to purchase that one yet.

Should I make this purchase in the next few weeks, what type of turn around time would I be looking at? I realize that business can change without warning, but a guesstimate would be helpful.

Thanks.

Hey Guys,

I may have mentioned this before but I'll state it again since Mark has joined the forum.  I had him do a VH12 shroud for me last fall and I was very happy with his work.

Nice to have another Virginian on the forum!  

Welcome

Jody

Welcome Hello Mark and welcome. I don't chime in here to often but it seems like a great site. I often wondered why you had not made it to this site. Thanks to Jody and his crew there is a wealth of info and knowledge here. I'm sure you will be a great addition..

Hello Wayne, To give you a quick education on Hot Bluing here it is

I take the gun totally apart and polish out to bright metal all the external parts and then they are wiped down to remove all the wax or any oils, then they go into a 4 tank sytem one is a cleaner boiling and that removes any of the grease or buffing compound, Then they go into a warm water rinse and then into the Hot Salts that are boiming at 290 degrees, they are in the salts for 15 minutes and then into another warm water rinse and then into a cold water rinse, then onto a oil bath, After all of that the parts are wiped down and I reasemble the guns,, Sounds like fun right? Well I do enjoy the fact that I get to work on all  kinds of different guns,

Mark
