Any recommendations in the Birmingham or Mobile areas for a good gunsmith to get an old side by side shotgun re-blued and the stock refinished that is reasonably priced?

Harvey King in valley grand. I assume he’s bluing, last time I was by his place he was. He is a good smith.

Yep, Harvey can handle the rebluing, but stock refinishing may be a different story. My advice is do some research on the web and do it yourself. I refinished an old Ruger M77 with TruOil last year and it looks better than the original finish.

The Ammo Dump does hot bluing. He has all the tanks and stuff to do it on hand. He don't blue everyday but I think once a week on his off day, to allow him to run his shop. Then he fire up the blue on Mondays I think. You can look him up on Facebook and see some of his work.

The trigger job he done on a H&R 357 rifle made a night and day difference.

What I liked the most was when he fitted a stock and rebarreled a rifle for me . no vice mark no wrench marks no nothing
