Robar Companies Re-Finishing

I have several older S&W K-frames (both early 1970's vintage so no real collector value) which are mechanically good but have worn and marred finishes. I am thinking about having them re-finished with hopefully a close to original S&W blueing. S&W will do it but their price seems high. Their two main pluses are that the finish should be more correct than any other company and that I can drive my pistol there and pick-up, which saves me shipping costs.

Has anyone had a pistol re-blued by Robar? I have heard many good things about their other finishes but do not recall any discussions about their blueing?

I need some help and advice where to go.

Thanks.

But whatsup with 'blue'?
 
Robar specializes in coatings/plating

Not to say they can't do blueing. Since shipping is such an outrage for handguns, the fact you can take it to S&W yourself is a huge bonus. You know it'll be done right, there.:)

I want to try to return these firearms to (close to) their original condition. This includes blueing. No need for fancy finishes on either of them.

I dunno, Price, blue done well is about the fanciest finish I know of. Like a vintage car done in 14 coats of hand rubbed lacquer, you can lose yourself in a good blue job.


If you go that route, try to post some pictures, will you?

I agree. By fancy finishes I was actually referring to more exotic finishes such as hard chrome or Black-T. I want these pistols to have the great blue jobs that used to come on S&W products.
