I'm in south central Fla. need to find someone that can restore a Mark V to its original quality bluing. Have been told by several that their is someone out of Crystal River, but nobody has a name. Also are their any Wheatherby Service Centers down here? Thanks

i would contact weatherby & send the barreled action to them for a factory reblue. it will cost a little more to have weatherby do it but a factory reblue doesn't lower the value of a firearm as much as having a general gunsmith reblue it.

Weatherby refinishes do lower the value less than a non factory job.

However, Ford's in Crystal River do have a good reputation:

My guess is Fords can make it look better & more orginial then Weatherby can.
