Not if you want something blued, I am one of the few smiths who do hot dip bluing and I do it for many other gunsmiths, gun shops and even small scale manufacturers. My prices are better than most because I do so much volume and even with shipping I can often do your job cheaper than a local smith if you had one.
by the way you can ship your shotgun within the state through Fed-Ex or UPS without going through an FFL.
