Looking for input from people that have had their firearms reblued, and from those that do the reblueing. What is the acceptable turnaround time for reblueing two rifles? I sent 2 rifles to a gunsmith in late July to be reblued, and I have yet to receive them back. They once belonged to my grandfather, and I had hoped to have them back in time to go hunting. So much for that idea. I waited 14 weeks, which I considered more than patient, then sent an e-mail. He had been on vacation for two weeks before I sent them, so understood that there might be a slight delay. My response from the gunsmith was that they got hit hard during the hunting season. Since when did deer season start in August and September? And why should my stuff be put on the back burner just because a d***a** hunter didn't check his equipment early enough? I checked mine. I was told that they would be caught up by this week, but as I look around my house, nope, no box of rifles. Any information on acceptable turnaround times would be greatly appreciated.
