Hello, I have a Rem 760 that many years ago I had reblued. Well to my disapointment the smith buffed all the crisp edges off the receiver and now the blue is more like a maroon/red! I had another shop say if the recevier still has enough metal it could be draw filed and blued again. Does anyone here have suggestions on a competent smith/re blue shop I might send the rifle to for an in depth look to see if the receiver can be brought back to original Rem looks with a new bluing/draw filing? Thanks.
