well known for their bluing and could probably make a living doing nothing else.
It's one of those things where the more you do it, the better you get, but the polishing is what makes a good blue. One should be rather well trained on a buffer before ever tackling an expensive gun, or any gun for that matter, as you can spot an amateur's work a mile off. If it doesn't look close to what the factory put out, then it's not passable. When you see them say that pits aren't removed, then that job will dramatically reduce the collector cost of the gun. Especially if it comes out of the tank looking like a kids half-sucked lollipop!
