At Rock Creek we use special bluing processes to achieve
the best possible results. Below is a sampling of our services for both metal and wood restoration. We do our work
by hand, to give you the best possible finish.
Reblueing: Any combination of any of these finishes can be applied to a new or old gun. Likewise if you want to customize a
firearm to your preferences in finish, that is no problem. Whatever the case may be, it's your firearm and I'll
work with you to achieve what you want. I use rust blueing and offer it as a regular part of my services.Hot blueing
is available for those who prefer it. It is an old Colt-type formula that gives a beautiful deep blue-black finish. Special
metal finishes are available on request, such as fire-blueing on screws and pins, nitre-blueing on small parts, nickle plating,
glass bead blasting, and more. It is only fair to mention that with older guns with excessive rust, some deep pitting may
remain.
Woodwork: Wood restoration or replacement is available for any rifle, shotgun, or handgun. This can be
factory "field grade" replacement or, you can choose to upgrade the wood to any level of your liking. All factory
checkering patterns can be replaced or re-cut, or you can choose a custom pattern. I also make custom grips for
revolvers and pistols, to your specifications. Wood finishes can be either factory original or a high luster finish to
showcase finely figured wood. My standard finish is a hand-rubbed satin oil finish.
