This. He does great hot bluing.Hands down having Tim Copeland (Velzey) do the re-blue.
The only issue is the wait time, as he's so good and very reasonable in the labor costs, it takes time.
Good pricing and great result, just picked up two there myself.Hands down having Tim Copeland (Velzey) do the re-blue.

Thanks. Not a Cericote fan on handguns. What I'd really love is a deep shiny royal blue like a Python. Overkill, I know, but I wouldn't see myself at the range.I believe @Velzey on this site does bluing and McCluskey Arms down in Eugene also does bluing.
There are also some great Cerakoters out there that can get an almost bluing like color/finish and are usually cheaper than getting a gun reblued. Or if you aren't beholden to it needing the look of bluing, there are some great options for Cerakote out there. Though that firearm looks great blued with a classic set of walnut grips.
I talked to Ruger. Very helpful lady that they're not doing that kind of work right now. Maybe first of year. Boy, was she nice.Ruger used to offer a service for doing a nice re-blue on their firearms. Price was reasonable for the quality I recall seeing. Not sure if they still offer the service, and if so, the current cost. Another option would be to check with Copeland Custom Gunworks; I believe Tim (Velzey on here) does bluing.
I get that, and I wouldn't change yours either. Mine was just made in 1978. No historical value. I picked it up off Gunbroker. All the other guns I have are 90% or better. I'm careful with my stuff.I have a 1950 Ruger Standard 22lr, Red Eagle grips, that I restored to shooting condition. It has a fair amount of holster wear. After a bit of thought have decided to leave it cosmetically as is instead of a reblue. Adds character to the age and use of the old pistol. I meant it to be a shooter anyways.
