Rust bluing barrels. Who to use?

[charlie cleveland]

the fellows names mentioned here are all top notch barrel men...there work is secound to none...from old forums i have seen prices go from 350 to 450 for barrel blueing...if i just wanted something to make the gun look a little better and keep some of the rust off i would just do it myself....i was reading infur fish and game this evening they even have blueing in a spray can was not to cheap bout 40 bucks a can...i ve rust blued some and its not a bad job but takes a lot of time as you may already know....good luck....charlie

That is right what I want to spend. My first guy said 350 to do the barrels (but he died) so I figured it would be close to the norm. 450 would be fine to.

I got a quote from Brad B. that was mentioned here and he said...."if they need NOTHING but sanded and blued 600.00 So I guess I will keep shopping. I will try those other guys if anyone has contacts for them that would be great. tx for all the help guys.
