Restoration recommendations

[wafu76]

I have a 43-48 Winchester 94 lever gun. It needs some serious help. Previous owner didnt take care of it and most of the blueing is gone and covered with a coat of rust. Any recommendations for restoration and reblueing? Portland area.

I'd take it apart...and hit the metal lightly with bronze wool and CLP...to get rid of the rust.
As for re-bluing...I don't have a problem with that...but some folks do...

@Velzey is up in Estacada and he does bluing and restorations. He's done a number of guns for me and others here. His work is top notch and he's well priced.

Enjoy the process.

Same here for Velzey. Super nice guy and well worth the drive to Estacada.

Another vote for Tim, @Velzey does top notch work, and I would highly recommend him.

IF I lived in the PNW and IF I had a gun that needed some thoughtful restoration, and IF I wanted it to be a gun that I could treasure and maybe think about passing on to someone deserving, and IF I had a son that shot, then I'd be sending it to Velzey.

Seems pointless now, but yup, @Velzey gets my vote too. I try and *find* stuff for him to do as I love his work.
