Bluing/Parkerizing Service Recommendation

Can anybody recommend a good bluing or parkerizing service? I have a Remington 11-87 that I stripped down to the metal that needs some buffing then re bluing. Parkerizing or similar treatment may be good as I may be using it occasionally on the salt marsh. It really doesn't warrant spending a ton of money on it, such as teflon treating, etc.

Thanks for reading and any recommendations are appreciated.

  Ask some smiths in your area, they could point you in the right direction. My local smith at the Weapon Works here in Phx does excellent bluing. You might also check with Arizona Response Systems, Mark Graham over there does a Metalcor finish that is beautiful and durable. Considering that you are using the gun in the salt marsh, you might want to pony up the extra bucks and go with a corrosion resistant finish. Bluing is just colored rust more or less and doesn't offer much protection. It might be cheaper in the long run to get the finish now and not have to have it reblued multiple times.

  Give a city where you live and some of the members that live near you can give you advice.

  Wilson Combat does one hell of a job and they're in the book or on the web.
