Need to have a Guide Gun refinished

[Metalhead0483]

I just picked up a new Marlin 1895GBL (short barrel, extended mag, big loop lever) from my local FFL. It's a sweet little 45-70 carbine. I love it, but the blued finish just won't work for a woods gun up here. Does anyone know where I could find someone who will refinish it? I prefer Ceracoat, but any rust-resistant finish would do.

And please don't suggest Wild West Guns. I won't work with those guys.

Thanks

There is someone in state that does complete rifles for $120. They are on the list of NIC's certified refinishers for cerakote. I'll look him up if you want.

Lee Hadaway at, thearmsroom.com , in Trinidad CO built this custom takedown .450Marlin for me. It is finished with Gunkote in satin black. Holding up very well so far.

I had one done up in Arkansas with a hard chrome finish. Slicker than snot and after a year on salt water in my sailboat...NADA. Don't remember the name of the company ( it has been 20 years), but that coating works. Google Fu can supply it. JMHO

Metaloy Industries does hard chrome finishing on guns. You will have to Google them as I can't find their card right now. Their work is supposed to be top notch. I had them do a saddle ring for me, and they were great to work with.

You could look up sniper hide member CoyoteKiller. He does some great teflon work at good prices. He is based out of Texas. Do a search on here for teflon coating and I am sure you will find his post. Here it is:

Everybody today is painting guns but what about places paint doesn`t get to. I would send my gun to MMI and have it nitided and it won`t rust no more. They have done about 6 for me and I am highly satisfied. Nitriding is black in color, it looks like bead blasted black. Paint just isn`t tough enough for me. Give them a try, you won`t be dissapointed.

Not a bad idea, melonite treatment would be the ultimate in corrosion resistence.

Another vote for Metaloy in Berryville AR. Chris Peters is a great guy to work with and does top notch plating. The hard chrome is a nice matte finish that does a great job of resisting the elements. This is a job he did for me last fall. It started out as a ratty satin nickle Commander and was transformed! CKruse

What about the birdsong black T finish? It has worked well for me!
Living on the gulfcoast it hasn't shown any sign of rust! Give the a call!

Re: Need to have a Guide Gun refinished

Thanks for your feedback guys. I think I'm going to go with 7.62 Precision in Anchorage to have it done. He's in-state and does good work from all I've read. I'll be sure to post pics when it's finished
