On the side to make extra money I have reblued firearms and restored/refinished stocks for several years now. Across the board 10-1 people want high gloss highly polished rock hard finishes on their stocks v/s a Tung or BLO finish, they are the ones paying me so I oblige. My preference on my own guns is a compromise, I use Minwax Antique Oil Finish, its a little hard to find but once the grain is filled and the final coat has dried , it can be buffed down to an eggshell satin finish. As for bluing, across the board all I do is rust bluing, which isn't for everyone, some people prefer the bright high polish only a hot blue can do.
