[QUOTE="dru, post: 1669186, member: 3047"] OK so if I were going to restore the shotguns and Mauser, what would be involved here? i'm assuming that we're talking a good cleaning, re-blueing, and some improvement on the stock. So does anyone have recommendations on who could do good work? From what i've read, a good proper blue will have to be a hot dip process. I've found some websites that purport to do it but would prefer any recommendations you all would have. Also, for the stock on the mauser, is it possible to get rid of the gouge marks and get it looking nice again or am I just screwed in that respect? I suppose the stock could be stripped, sanded and refinished but that would destroy those nice marks and I would like to preserve them if possible. What I guess I'm looking for here are recommendations on folks who can do this stuff well, not cheapest. Are there any other things that I am missing with respect to the restoration of these guns? Thanks a ton [/QUOTE]
