Gun bluing in Portland/Vancouver area?

Blackwatch · Nov 24, 2020

I searched in the forums and found recommendations for NW Custom Firearms but they closed shop Sept 1st. Anyone know of a local place that does bluing? Thanks.

Copeland Custom Gunworks @Vezley. Look at the before and after photos on his website.

Can't blame him for that...
I'd suggest Velzey, too.

Oregon Timberwolf has done several for me. Excellent job

I would suggest checking with Buster Beaver in Wilsonville.

They also advertise on Northwest firearms.

John did a great job for me.

I know they do cerecoat. Didn't think about them doing a reblue.

Buster only does Cerakote. I do real deal hot bluing.
And Jon @ NW Custom moved to Montana

Velzey aka Tim does awesome bluing! He did a Combat Elite slide for me and it is beautiful! The photo doesn't do it justice.

Do you do slide milling? I'm looking to have my fnx slide cut for an optic.
