You're looking between $600 - $800 for a good job.

I'd like to see what that job is like if you got it for $200.

Make sure the guy is doing a rust blue process and not a hot bluing salts process. The heat will melt the solder on your barrels and then you have problems you don't want.

Make sure the guy is doing a rust blue process .

I can do Rustoleum Blue in six shades for $100. Guaranteed 30 minute turnaround.

Grayson, I don't know if you would be interested in doing it yourself, but a 4 oz bottle of Brownell's Classic Rust Blue is only $13.49. It doesn't take much for equipment and for a few of days work you could save a fair chunk of change. That, and there is the appreciation of the results when you do it yourself. Like you say, you're not looking for perfection.

No extra charge for them.
