So I've got an old worn Winchester model 25 (pump shotgun). Its in pretty bad shape, it has some rust on it and the majority of the bluing on the receiver as well as the barrel has worn off. I'm going to scrub it and clean it up, but Im wondering what the best way to refinish it is. It really needs to be redone.

It seems like duracoat and wonder blue are both top of the line products and would like to know what you guys think is best. I know the best thing to do is have it hot blue, but that is expensive.

any input is appreciated.
