    Bluing experts?

    Can anyone recommend a company (or person) that does hot bluing? I have a project (vintage) rifle coming up that needs a total re blue. I think the last person I used was Collin Molloy ? I know he is not doing it anymore, the last one I had done by him, I prepared all the metal parts, removing rust, old bluing and grease down to bear polished metal.
    I know re bluing is not to everyone's taste but when the condition of the metal is that bad, I believe its warranted. Thanks in advance for any recommendations.....

    Shaun at ISP did a great job on a Vulcan of mine. Although it looked more black than blue, but I thought it looked better.👍

    Thanks bud, will give that one some thought, it's an old Webley that's up for bluing, so not sure blacking would be in character...
