Asking for a friend - he has a Smith Model 28 that need rebluing. Can anyone suggest someone in Baton Rouge metro area ? - THANKS !
I can specifically say do not use anyone IN BR. I have not seen quality blue work IN BR in years. There is a refinishing place in florida that does good work but the name escapes me , they have a website iirc.
My fist option would be the manufacturer.
My second option would be Turnbull Customs.

I thought this comment was off and just looked back. Looks like only one member opposed sending it back to S&W because he had a bad experience. I think sending a gun back to the original manufacturer for repairs is going to be the best option.Wow , opinions on sending it back to S&W are all over the map . I've seen some of Reulet's work and it looks very nice . If the need ever arises , they will be my choice .
Are you counting all of those posts that recommended other shops without mentioning the manufacturer at all ?I thought this comment was off and just looked back.

Considering OP’s original post was looking for someone local in Baton Rouge I did not. I figured most would agree sending it back to Smith if possible would be the best option in most cases however post # 11 did have a valid point on why OP may not want to do that. I apologize if I came off the wrong way.Are you counting all of those posts that recommended other shops without mentioning the manufacturer at all ?
