    Eamon Galvin in Ballybofey is the best guy around to reblue any gun and he's a lifetime of experience. He did my shotgun and restored the stock and it looked better than new. You would think the gun was brand new also he's a excellent gun smith. He makes stocks for guns too. He was a carpender by trade and all his work is done by hand tools. My barrels was rusted and bluing was nearly completely gone. It now looks like a new gun. He's also very cheap. To reblue the barrels is about 100euro, It takes alot of time to do it right. I wouldn't trust them home kits. He's some sort of a boiler for putting it into
