1894 30-30 refinish job,

[280shooter]

I have a 1948 model 94,, it belonged to me Great Aunt. I like to send it off for a refab,only a few rust pits, but someone has scratched nu,mbers on the barrle.I dont know what they are. or why, i like to have it refinished like it was the day it came out of the factory.does any one know a gun smith that does work on the old guns like this.I watched a TV gun show where a guy had his brothers 1885 or 1886 one of the old lever guns, it came out beautifull.better then new.

Fords would come as close as any to matching the factory bluing.

And then there is Doug Turnbull, in case you have won the lottery!

Matching the old red tint Winchester stock finish is very difficult. It can be done, but it certainly isn't easy.
