Suggestions for rebluing my Browning Hi-Power Login/Join

I keep looking out for another BHP that will be even sweeter than the one I own, which has a tremendous trigger (lots "of work done") and that has Novak night sights and nice wood grips. My favorite handgun, hands-down.

I came to my senses and realized what is bugging me, and would be far cheaper to "fix," is the finish. Novak re-blued the slide when they added the sights, but the frame is showing wear (Mk. III made in 1989) and has a few scratches and a ding where it must have been dropped (argh).

I live in Northern VA, any suggestions on where I can get it re-blued and the frame touched up/smoothed? I don't want to spend a fortune, but I'm fine with paying for great work. Also, I don't want it to take more than a month or so.

CCR could probably figure something out.

Have you priced Ford's?

I would go matte nickle for reverse two tone. Like the practical model.

I had two HPs worked on by Don Williams and he uses Glenrock Blue.

I thought the finish on both came out great.

For a shooter, I like Black-T. Slicker than snot and they do all the internal and small parts. It makes a good trigger even better and stops any wear.

Bruce






"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams

“It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free."
-Niccolo Machiavelli

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken

if you want local, there is a guy that does great work in the Lexington area,

I'll see if I can find his name, a friend had him do a Colt 1903 that was a basket case,
friend did all the prep (filing etc) to clean it up, the the guy in Lexington did the blue,

he was very reasonable, and did a great job



here you go

I sent mine to Don Williams at the Action Works for his sights and a reblue. Very happy with the work and the price.


What, me worry?
