Which gunsmiths do really nice blueing?
A whole bunch are swamped with work at the present and unable to take anything on (Allen Carr, Dean Maisey, Hugh Bradley, Dave Ward).
Who else is there?

@Chop3r on here did an old tikka for me, perfect job.
Nelson Collie at Status Guns does a good tank blue
Slow rusting is not difficult to set up and gives a very durable satin finish. Like all forms of finishing work, the secret is in the preparation. High gloss hot caustic blues look good but are impractical on a working rifle and tend to be a bit fragile.
Can second the work of @Chop3r

Cheers guys.
I can appreciate the differences between rust bluing and hot caustic - I've had rifles with both finishes.
The rifle in question will be sold, so I just need the metal work looking good.
I'm leaning towards Nelson Collie at this stage.
