Colorado Gun Restorations & Bluing

Colorado Gun Bluing & Gun Restorations

Restoring guns for future generations to enjoy

Located in the heart of Colorado, we offer affordable gun bluing and restoration services intended to give new life to guns past their prime. We specialize in vintage guns including revolvers, pistols, pump, and lever-action rifles.
It all started from the personal satisfaction of bringing our own vintage pieces back to life. It evolved into a business as our customizations were sought-after by locals for the quality we were providing. Today, we take pride in adding unique touches like upgrading wood to high grade walnut or maple, case coloring, or when requested and possible, researching and restoring a firearm to an ‘as-original’ condition as possible. As I operate a full time vinyl, leather and plastic restoration business in Littleton, CO called Fibrenew, I only take on a few restorations per year so be sure to reserve your spot in line for the beautiful, affordable restoration of your family heirloom.

Our shop includes a custom a Dulite bluing setup, Bridgeport mill, 12X48 lathe, K.O. Lee surface grinder, 30W fiber MOPA laser, wood duplicator, media blaster, and kiln to restore and enhance any piece. The following is a list of our specialties:

  • Wood refinishing and custom wood replacement
  • Gun metal refinishing
  • Laser engraving
  • Case coloring
