    Air cyl re-blue service?

    As title, 325mm long BSA air cyl has rust spots from previous owner and I want it pretty.

    Any recommendations for somewhere for this to be done?

    Thanks.

    Paul Chell is possibly one of the best reblueing people around .
    Another option would be to have it cerakoted . Try Liquid Steel Designs at freckleton near Preston for that.

    I would buy a new one possibly not a lot more money , and with rust not sure I would trust high pressure tubes tbh

    Beat me to it, the cost of a reblue is probably going to be same ball-park as a new one.

    Thanks all.

    For clarity, the rust is surface and not structural. Also the tube seems to be a unique length which matches the barrel shroud like an under/over shot gun so I want to keep the look.

    So, reblue remains my best option at the moment.

    Further thoughts very welcome.
