Air Rifle Bluing

[simgre]

Want my Air Arms Pro Sport re-bluing. Internet search points the Manchester Airguns, but they’ve said they no longer offer this.

Can anyone recommend someone?

Thanks.

Shaun at ISP does a good job.

I've also used Paul Chell, but last time I tried to contact him I didn't get an answer.

As per CapitalBee. ISP or Mr Chell. Mach 1.5

Craig-p is the man to speak to for contacting ISP (Shaun)

Colin Malloy that used to blue at Manchester airguns quit bluing and took a job outside the Gun Trade a few years back .

I remember some on here suggesting that Colin sold his blueing equipment to someone who was planning on starting up but I've seen nothing since.
Anyone else no anything?
ISP has a strong reputation and I don't think you would loose your gun like many did with the Richard H situation.

Paul Chell is actively doing this on the other forum, I'm not sure if he is on this one or not TBH, but his work is very good and he gets a lot of it, so he must be doing it well and for the right price or his name would be mud - you gotta love a forum

Had a TXSR done by Paul Chell. Came back quickly and looking superb. Highly recommended.

Thanks so far. Anyone got contact details for Paul Chell, or any of the others?

Look to see if you have a local metal finishers! We have and for the price of a drink they make a lovely job. Of course you have to prepare the gun first. I polish them to 320 grit. White vinegar will quickly strip off all the bluing.

there is a difference between bluing and blacking which is what paul chell does, bluing is how it would come from the factory and as far as I am aware the only person actually doing it properly is shaun at ISP no doubt paul is good at what he does but it is not bluing.

Isp bluing is quality.
Paul Chells blacking is beautiful

I was not aware of this

Isp bluing is quality.
Paul Chells blacking is beautiful

But I've see pictures of both of the above and they both looked excellent quality, so I guess it's just a matter of looking at both and deciding
