I'm in Austin, TX looking to get a SW m13 reblued. My apartment flooded last week, and by the time I salvaged all my firearms from the mess, it was, well ...unspeakable.... I took it down to my local gunshop to get it detail cleaned in all the little parts I'm not qualified to get at, and when I asked about rebluing, they said it would be $145 to "send it to their guy". I was hoping that if I could find "the guy" or just "a guy" or even a shop that does it themselves, I might save a little cash. Does anybody know of anybody in the Austin area that does a quality job at a more affordable rate? Or is this what I should expect to spend anywhere? I generally consider this gun too important to play Scrooge with, as it was my grandfather's, but I'm a student, and my wallet is unfortunately slim.
Input is greatly appreciated.
